Move It! Rig Move Safety for Roughnecks

Move It! Rig Move Safety for Roughnecks
The Move It: Rig Safety for Roughnecks video from NIOSH covers rig move safety for roughnecks in the oil and gas fields. "It helps make sense of the organized chaos that accompanies a rig move," NIOSH explains, "and highlights some easy ways to lower the risk of being injured or killed when moving to a new location." Stream this video from NIOSH's YouTube channel.

Development of the Move It video and related training tools was the subject of Elaine Cullen's article, "Effective Training: A Case Study From the Oil & Gas Industry," which was published in the March 2011 issue of Professional Safety. Read Cullen's insightful article here.
