Caracterización de accidentes de trabajo por caída de objetos en empresas del sector hidrocarburos

In a multinational of hydrocarbon sector provider of drilling and workover services, which operates in the region of Tolima and Santander in Colombia, a research was conducted with the purpose of describing the accidents caused by falling objects in the borehole zone. The information was collected from the reports of accidents and incidents of Sopó’s base of operations in 2010- 2011 periods. After analyzing the findings it was evident that there were four significant causative agents, we have the so-called struck by objects with 68%; caught by or between an object with 41%; falling people with 30% and falling objects with 21%. This latter finding is derived from the activity of drilling by manipulating hydraulic wrenches, additional objects of steel and hammer stems, among others, and the basic cause was the lack of supervision, leadership and / or planning with 39%, followed by inadequate work procedures with 22% and poorly maintenance with 11% from which we conclude that most of them are derived from human errors
