  SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

Derrickhands must use a harness and platform-climbing device to get to the proper position on the derrick when the drill string (lengths of pipe) or casing pipe is being raised from or lowered into the hole.  Individuals who do not feel comfortable working in high places do not usually move into the position of Derrickhand.  However those wishing to advance to the Driller position must have a good understanding of the Derrickhands duties. When rig is making a trip (running drill pipe in and out of the hole), he works off of the monkey board.  There, while coming out of the hole, he unlatches the elevators from the pipe and racks the pipe sequentially in the fingers after it has been set on the pipe-racking floor by the Floorhand.  While running in the hole, he pulls the proper stand of pipe from the fingers and, when the elevator comes to his position latches it around the stand.  Whenever a Derrickhand goes up the monkey board the blocks stay at the rig floor until the Derrickhand comes to the end of the driving board and signals to the Driller that his fall arrest system is hooked up.  Under direction of the Driller, he conditions the drilling fluid and maintains the mud pumps and mud handling and treating equipment.
