This 3-hour interactive online course reviews the National Drilling Association''s Drilling Safety Guide. The guide has been prepared through the combined efforts of member delegations of the Diamond Core Drill Manufacturers Association (DCDMA), the National Drilling Association (NDA) and the National Ground Water Association – Drill Rig/Heavy Equipment Product Group and Safety Subcommittee (NGWA) and is published by the National Drilling Association (NDA) for the benefit of the drilling industries.
This guide contains suggested safety procedures. It is not intended to set forth any standard industry procedures or requirements. This manual is to be used as a guideline for the safe operation of drilling equipment. DCDMA, NDA, NGWA, their officers, and members deny any liability for any injury to people or property that may occur even if these procedures are properly followed. Further, the DCDMA, NDA, NGWA, their officers, and members do not accept responsibility for the completeness of the guide or the applicability of the statements or procedures to the use of all drilling machines and tools in all environments. Many aspects of drilling safety cannot be expressed in detail and cannot be met by mechanical means; drilling safety can only be accomplished with the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end.
