Alert 08 – 38 Dropped Object – Casing High Potential Near Miss
WHAT HAPPENED:
The crew was picking up 13 3/8 casing with a single joint elevator and a long pick-up assembly attached to the top drive. The casing caught on the derrick A-frame brace / roller. Both sling links on the elevators parted. See picture below. The joint slid down the V-door and came to rest at the end of the catwalk. No injuries—this time.
