The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) released a report of an investigation panel into the 2020 death of a Fluid Crane and Construction Inc. (FCC) worker on an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The incident occurred on Ewing Bank, Block 826, Platform A, operated by Fieldood Energy LLC about 60 miles south of the Louisiana coast. A contracted FCC crew was in the process of replacing grating on the casing deck of Platform A. The panel identified several probable causes: Fieldwood failed to maintain all walking surfaces on the facility in a safe condition; and failed to ensure that FCC’s Safe Work Practices (SWPs)met or exceeded their own SWPs. Supervisors failed to fulfill their intended responsibilities established SWPs. Personnel failed to adhere to the requirements of the JSA. Contributing causes: Construction crews followed instructions of personnel who were not in a position of authority; complacency; and that the fire watch either did not have or did not use a personal communication radio to convey to the construction crew and platform personnel that the victim was in danger in a timely manner.
