    An employee was injured when manually handling rolling pipes on a production line. The employee reached down to stop a rolling drill collar from rotating to record its serial number. However, the employee's hand was drawn into the rotation, trapping a finger between the rolling and stationary pipes. The employee was taken to the hospital with bruising and swelling to the finger tip. The immediate cause was that personnel are aware they should use a tool, not manual handling, for this task. Actions taken include providing further instruction and training on safe working and updating the risk assessment to include use of the tool. The lesson learned is a tool exists for this task but the employee incorrectly tried to save time by not using it.

    Preliminary Details of Incident


    Employee injured finger when rolling pipe.
    The IP was manually handling (rolling) 9.5” drill collars within the drill pipe inspection center (DPIC) production line.
    Whilst attempting to record the serial number the IP reached down to the drill collar and tried to manually stop the drill
    collar from rolling on the line.
    What Went Wrong?
    The IP was unable to stop the momentum gained within the drill collar and the IP’s hand was drawn into the drill collars
    rotation resulting in one finger being trapped between the rolling drill collar and another stationary drill collar. The IP
    was removed to hospital following the incident and sustained bruising and swelling to the tip of one finger.

    Immediate Cause(s)-
    The IP should not have been manually handling rotating pipes in this manner as all personnel are aware of the tool that
    should be used to complete this task.

    Immediate Actions-
    Personnel to receive further instruction and training on safe working whilst completing this task.
    Risk assessment to be updated to include the use of the tool.

    Lessons Learned-

    A tool exists for the manual rotation of pipes during this task; however, this was not used by the IP to incorrectly save
    time and effort.
