Safety Harness Latch Failure at Nabors Gasmer Facility on January 14, 2008

A safety incident occurred at the Nabors 180 Gasmer Facility on January 14, 2008, involving a malfunction of a Sala-brand safety harness (Model #1104804). After an employee descended from a derrick, they heard a noise and discovered the roller cam from the harness's adjusting strap on the rig floor. Preliminary investigations indicate that a spring-loaded safety slide disengaged from the buckle, posing a serious risk had it occurred under load. Immediate inspections of all harnesses of this type are advised, focusing on the adjusting buckle and spring tensioner.
