Fall from ladder 02/07/05

• What happened ?A Schlumberger welder was
  standing on a ladder to drill a hole in a

  him and cool off the drill-bit by spraying water.
  In order to reach he climbed on another ladder.
  When he got to the second step he fell over.
• Result
• Broken wrist
• Off work for 4 weeks

• Learning

  drill might not be a good idea!

Crushed Finger 27/06/05

• What happened ?The NDSC roustabout-foreman was
  setting out pipe stands next to the catwalk in
  order to lay-down casing joints. The forklift had
