Purpose:
This checklist combines the applicable requirements of 29 CFR 1910, American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Standards, American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 54 (API RP54), other more specific American Petroleum Institute
Recommended Practices, and the current and previous checklists for drilling and well servicing rigs generated by the International
Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) and the Association of Energy Service Companies (AESC).
This checklist is not all inclusive, but is intended to provide a clear and consistent inspection approach for inspecting
drilling and servicing rigs during REP/LEP inspections conducted by OSHA, but may also be used for Complaint & Fatality
Investigations. It is also intended for guidance and use by the numerous employers during their day-to-day inspections of their rigs,
and for the post-LEP inspection dissemination of information to other rigs, branches, divisions, etc of the employers organization.
The overall goal of the checklist is to assure that all employees working at Oil & Gas sites are provided a safe and healthy work
environment in an extremely dangerous industry.
