Drive Chain Repair:
Drive chains are used in the drawworks, compound, as drives between the compound and mud pumps, or on electric rigs between the electric motors and the equipment. Chains are heavy and must be handled with care. A pre-job safety meeting should be held with all involved prior to beginning the task.
Make sure other workers on the site know that personnel are working on the chains. Because chains are made of hard steel, there is a danger of flying steel chips when the chain is struck with a hammer. Some hazards that workers are exposed to while working on or changing out a drive chain include being struck by flying chips of steel; pinching fingers in chain links; getting cuts from chain links that have rough edges; being struck by a hammer; back or other strains from attempting to lift the chain; being struck by the guard as it is removed or installed; being struck by the chain as it is removed or installed.
