Ensure the safety of drilling operations with a reliable drilling rig inspection checklist

They assess the power plant, housing facilities, electrical systems and marine equipment using checklists. Additionally, these checklists help reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, equipment failure and other costly issues.

  • Inspection and rig details
  • Project details
  • Applicable permits checklist
  • Drilling site inspection checklist
  • Rig components checklist including stairs/ladders/handrails/guardrails, the rig floor and fuel/storage tanks
