The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Gulf of Mexico OCS Region recently issued a Safety Alert regarding a fatality that occurred during platform well plug and abandonment activities. The findings indicated supervision, operational, equipment and organization errors. While the work team had conducted a pre-shift JSA meeting, the meeting did not address all potential hazards (including the fatal hole into which the worker fell), was not attended by all involved parties (including the worker who was later fatally injured) and did not included a unique, signed JSA document.
