Alert 05 – 16 Modified Equipment – Battery Leads
WHAT HAPPENED:
This bulletin is taken from a rig’s HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (HAZID) and is not the result of a near miss report or injury incident. This report is a good example of the HAZID system being utilized by employees. Recently an employee observed a potentially dangerous, modified piece of equipment being used to refuel vehicles. An extension cord was being used as a jumper from a 12-volt battery to a 12-volt DC fuel pump at the fueling station.
