Safety guard dispute ties nine year drill site rule fights
Dallas attorney James Karger says 17 injuries including a fatality came from the OSHA guard. He notes contractors have faced hundreds of citations over about nine years as general industry standards misapplied to drilling. OSHA fines ranged 250 to 1500, MGF was cited a year ago but case dropped after appeal. OSHA will add oil industry standards this year. Officials at MGF call the test a more reasonable safety approach. The guard covers the bushing where the drilling kelly meets the rotary table powering the drill stem.
