Big Dog disputes OSHA findings on worker death penalties
Big Dog Drilling officials contest a federal OSHA probe that cited six safety violations over the Sept 1 2004 death of Cody Hall in Upton County. Safety chief Fred Rabe says the $100 500 penalties are flawed and blames the company’s death on drug use rather than electrical fault. The willful violation centers on unprotected energized gear at Geronimo Lease No 277 and a buried cable standard in the Permian Basin.
