Morning All,

A friend and former colleague from the UK who now works as an H&S Manager in Australia is after a method statement or checklist for directional drilling. Its obviously not for copying but to see how others have approached this and the risks that should be considered.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_drilling

If anyone can be of assistance, it would be most appreciated.

with all due respect I advise that he talks to the experts e.g. the drillers and their supporting professionals e.g geologists, as was my experience when working in this area years ago, as its they who know what is what. Thereafter its easy to put together a working system noting that a H&S bod should not [in my personal view] be undertaking the exercise of creating such things but should be facilitating the activity especially so as by creating such things themselves makes people own then and then work to them

Thank you. It's also useful to see what others are doing to save a bit of reinventing the wheel. I am sure that with his UK Post Graduate Diploma in Health and Safety, NEBOSH qualifications, degree and other qualifications, plus years of experience he will also be interacting with those directly involved with planning and carrying out the operation and I suspect will be getting them to produce the relevant information. But it's always nice to be able to ask questions of peers and others to see what their experience has been and in this instance, simply being able to view a document that has been put together will be of assistance. I did not suggest he will use this wholesale or indeed create a method statement himself.
