BEST PRACTICES
Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to provide an aggregate summary of the “best practices” being
employed by Baker Hughes manufacturing plants and AMO locations to minimize the risk of,
or completely remove the potential for, hand injuries as employees perform their daily tasks.
Scope
The safety solutions for “hands-free” manipulation of tools, equipment, and parts presented
herein will apply to any task or operation having the risk areas described. Unless mandated as a
company “standard,” each best practice is presented as the optimal way of work found to date,
and may be superseded by even better solutions in the future.
Responsibility & Authority

 It is the responsibility of every employee to follow all safety precautions and warnings
when using or handling equipment and materials/products, and to employ any best practice
that has been established for the tasks they are performing.
 Employees have the authority to confront and correct any person observed to perform a
task in violation of safety rules or the established best practice.
 In addition, employees are empowered to Stop Work, per EOC HSES-EOC-STOP-001

and work instruction HSES-WI-STOP-001, when an unsafe condition exists that presents
any potential for injury.
 It is the responsibility of management to ensure all employees understand hand safety

regulations and follow the best practices established for and implemented in Baker Hughes
manufacturing and AMO facilities.
Introduction to Hands-Free
What is Hands-Free?
Hands-Free is a “way-of-work” that says the best way to prevent or minimize hand injuries is
to remove the presence of manual handling from the task being performed, or at least minimize
the potential for injury by using process and equipment changes to “engineer out” the need to
place hands in harm’s way. Here are five “facts” about hand safety.
 The frequency of hand injuries annually at Baker Hughes has increased for the past several years.
 Hand injuries significantly impact your personal and professional life.
 Driving a Hands-Free work culture is the best way to prevent hand injuries.

2
BEST PRACTICES
 Hands-Free means no hands on moving loads or equipment, hands on handles only, hands
off when energy is on, safe manual lifts, and the right gloves for the task.
 Conducting risk assessments of all jobs involving the hands ensures all hazards have been
identified, controlled, and the risk is at an acceptable level.
What is a Best Practice?

Baker Hughes is constantly striving to find the optimum way of performing the day-to-day
operational tasks associated with producing and utilizing its products. A “best practice” is
basically the implementation of tools and processes that provide the most efficient and safest
means by which a task or job can be completed. It is implemented and sustained until further
improvement becomes available in tooling, equipment, or processing, at which time the current
“best practice” is replaced by the discovered improvement.
Implementing Best Practice Solutions at Your Site
Best practices are only effective when properly put into action where they are applicable.
Consequently, it is important that each hands-free solution contained in this manual be
reviewed and evaluated for implementation at Baker Hughes manufacturing, AMO, and rig
locations.
Designate “Hands-Free” Lead Person
To ensure this solution evaluation occurs, a hands-free “champion” should be appointed who
will initiate collaboration with the appropriate stakeholders with the knowledge and expertise
to determine applicability and feasibility for the site, i.e., safety representatives, task operators,
supervisory personnel, engineering staff, etc.
Determine Applicability and Feasibility of Best Practices
All best practices are documented on a common template, providing the same format for ease
of review. Thoroughly cover each section of the solution sheet presented, making good use of
the contacts section to answer questions and to provide details not provided since the intention
of each sheet is to provide a short overview of the solution, not specific steps for
implementation.
 Some solutions may require a substantial cost commitment and large footprint for
implementation, therefore availability of capital and facility space are prime
considerations during the evaluation process.
 Others will require only a small outlay of funds and have minimal, if any, impact on the
facility layout.
 Then again, some solutions will fall outside site acceptance because they are product,
plant, or application specific and not suitable for the location where they are being
evaluated.

3
BEST PRACTICES
Follow Corporate Implementation Process
A best practice may cause a “change” to the task or process for which it is being implemented,
requiring employment of the company’s Management of Change Process (BHOS-EOC-
MOC-001). Ensure all risk assessments, trial runs, and after-action reviews have been
completed / documented before implementing any solution.
Because one best practice (i.e., use of a specialized safety cutting device) may be applicable
across different tasks or operations, a single MOC will suffice to document the range of tasks
where it is utilized. Finally, ensure compliance with any HSE requirements through scheduled
safety audits and take action to correct deviations / violations when found.
Best practices fall into two categories – Optional or Mandatory – which are indicated on each
solution sheet. It is expected that all “mandatory” best practices be implemented unless
extraordinary circumstances such as budget and/or space limitations make using the solution
impossible or impractical, or the practice is not applicable to any task or operation at the location.
The decision not to implement an applicable mandatory solution requires authorization from
senior level site and safety management. An overview of the implementation process is shown in
Figure1.

Specific Job Step / Task Chipping Tricone Bit after Welding No. BITS-103
The bit is placed on a table to remove weld slag from the entire bit using pneumatic chipping tools
and brushes. The bit is rotated by hand while sitting on top of the table and all of the chipping and
brushing work is also performed in this same position which could cause serious injury if the bit
were to slip and fall while rotating or chipping.

The operator will place the bit into a mandrel. This allows them to position the height and angle of
the bit and to rotate it without touching the bit with their hands. This is a very ergonomic fixture
and will remove the possible of injury from this job task.
NOTE: Solution may be suitable to other applications for parts that must be lifted, tilted, or rotated.

Specific Job Step / Task Breaking Pipe Thread No. TOOL-302
Separating tool components and pipe joints is a common practice at manufacturing and AMO
facilities. Using inappropriately sized pipe wrenches and lack of knowledge of thread types can
result in bodily injury or serious strain if the pipe joint breaks suddenly or the wrenches used slip or
break.

A portable, easy to set up, and cost effective Break-out Unit replaces the need for manual torqueing
to break pipe joints. The design criteria for the hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic pump, and wrench
selection are based on the torque needed for the thread coupling type and pipe OD.

This job step entails the practice of using a hammer for pushing/butting during assembly and
disassembly. Using a hammer for this job step poses a risk of putting the operator/technician’s
fingers in the line of fire.

The proposed solution is to replace the hammer with a slide hammer which gives the same impact
as the hammer, but eliminates the risk of putting the operator/technician’s fingers in the line of fire
during assembly and disassembly tasks. Also, with attachments, the slide hammer can be used for
pushing and pulling applications.

This task entails the practice of using a file, hand-held air grinder, sandpaper, and burring knife to
de-burr sharp edges on a milled part. This poses a potential risk of hand injury for the operator’s
hands during the operation.

The proposed solution is to replace the hand tools with programmable CNC tooling for de-burring
and polishing a milled part, reducing the ergonomic risks that can occur to hands due to the
repetitive motion of de-burring tasks.

This task entails the practice of storing cutting and other accessory tools for machining in a
disorganized manner, typically loose in a drawer. The sharp edges of any these tools pose a threat
to the operator’s hand safety when he/she is searching through the storage space for the needed
item.

The proposed solution is to use 5S in the work area. Putting away the tools before/after machining
in their appropriate location, with the use of PPE, will not only eliminate the potential hand hazard,
but it helps in identifying missing items within the tooling package. Customized cut foam sheets
are available from the vendors shown below.

Specific Job Step / Task Cutting Tasks, Miscellaneous No. CUTD-504
Standard utility knives are very useful for a multitude of applications. However, standard utility
knives contain fixed, exposed blades that present serious safety hazards in the workplace if not
handled properly.

Whenever possible, we must first eliminate any cutting device from the task. If elimination is not
an option, then we should substitute a safer cutting alternative.
The spring-loaded safety utility knife is a much safer alternative to a fixed blade utility knife as it
intentionally reduces blade exposure by reducing the cutting depth of the blade. It also features
automatic blade retraction after it loses contact with the material being cut, even when the
ergonomic squeeze-grip is kept pressed. This knife should always be used in place of a fixed-
blade utility knife for applications that do not have a safer alternative (e.g., klever kutters).

Specific Job Step / Task Viewing an In-Process Machine Part No. MCHS-611
During a machine cycle, the operator has to clearly see the work piece. If his/her view is

of making quick decisions regarding the part and the process. Also, due to lack of awareness of
part/process condition owing to the obscured view through the window, it poses a threat to the
operator safety when the machine cycle is off.

The proposed solution is to install an Air Stik window-wiping system to improve visibility. It
provides a directed, high-velocity sheet of air to blow liquid down the surface of the window. A
clear window enables operators to verify the tool path on new programs, thus avoiding crashes
and manual jogging movements such as skim cuts for work offsets.

Specific Job Step / Task Handling Broken Pallets and Crating Material No. SHIP-1009
(HSES-UG-MH-001)
Broken pallets, with exposed sharp edges, nails, and staples, present cut hazards to the hands of
shipping personnel.

A molded plastic (Rhino) pallet eliminates the potential for broken boards and exposed nails that
can cause hand injuries.
** If use of the molded pallet is not feasible or cost effective, wooden pallets reinforced with scalloped cradle blocks
help maintain pallet strength and integrity. The pallet type selected depends on the product being transported.

Be sure to follow any
mandated Baker Hughes
corporate guidelines for

Specific Job Step / Task Handling & Lifting Un-cushioned Product No. SHIP-1010
(HSES-UG-MH-001)
When handling parts and materials received with inadequate shipping layouts (such that parts
make contact one with another), pinch and crush points exist when attempting to connect lift
assist devices.

By using blocks and spacer systems to lift up and separate materials, whether in a shipping
container, pallet, or on a flatbed truck, a reduction in potential crush or pinch points is achieved.

Specific Job Step / Task Draining Oil from BOT Tools after Pressure Testing No. CART-1208
(HSES-UG-MH-001)
Draining of oil from Completion tools after pressure testing utilizes an overhead crane, spreader
bar, and straps to put the tool into an incline to successfully drain the tool. This has led to an
incident involving a dropped tool within one of the facilities.

Celle assembly cart utilizes individual adjustable V-blocks in the design to allow for up to a 3
degree incline while continuing to secure the tool. Celle is developing a part number for the cart at
the time of this release. Eliminates use of a rigged tool suspended by crane in a slanted position.
