Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Course)

  • Derrick inspection basics — recognize visible flaws and surface defects under direct supervisor guidance before a derrick is raised on a drilling site.
  • Cleaning and oiling procedures — follow step-by-step protocols to clean and lubricate derrick components under close supervision on an active rig.
  • Crown block installation — assist in positioning and bolting crown blocks to derrick posts under the direction of an experienced operator.
  • Mud pump start-up — initiate pumps that circulate drilling mud through drill pipes following a written checklist on a supervised job site.
  • Drilling fluid properties — identify basic viscosity and weight readings on mud samples using hand-held instruments under trainer oversight.
  • Rig pump monitoring — listen to mud pumps at regular intervals and report unusual sounds or vibrations to a senior operator on shift.
  • Harness and climbing device use — don and adjust personal fall-arrest harnesses and platform climbing devices following safety protocols before ascending the derrick.
  • Basic hand tool use — select and apply wrenches, hammers, and other hand tools to minor pump and tank fittings under direct instruction on the rig floor.
  • Safety hazard recognition — identify common rig-site hazards such as slick surfaces, overhead loads, and pressurized lines when completing entry-level inspection rounds.
  • Equipment log entry — record inspection findings, fluid readings, and pump status in paper or electronic logs using word processing or spreadsheet software under supervision.
