WARI Exercise
Instructions:
Imagine you are the rig supervisor conducting a WARI. You observe the following on the rig:
- A safety valve on the mud pump is missing its pressure gauge.
- Several pieces of equipment are scattered around the rig floor, posing a tripping hazard.
- The fire extinguishers are not properly labelled.
- The weather forecast predicts strong winds and heavy rain for the next 24 hours.
Task:
- List the potential hazards identified during your WARI.
- Outline the actions you would take to address each hazard.
- Describe how these actions would contribute to safety and efficiency on the rig.

Exercice Correction
Potential Hazards:
- Missing pressure gauge on the mud pump safety valve: This could lead to undetected pressure issues and potential accidents.
- Scattered equipment on the rig floor: This creates a tripping hazard, potentially causing injuries and hindering operations.
- Improperly labelled fire extinguishers: This could hinder quick and efficient access to vital fire suppression equipment during an emergency.
- Predicted strong winds and heavy rain: This poses a risk of equipment damage, accidents due to slippery surfaces, and potential delays in operations.
Actions to Address Hazards:
- Missing pressure gauge: Immediately report the issue to the appropriate personnel, requesting a replacement gauge be installed as soon as possible. In the meantime, ensure the safety valve is manually monitored.
- Scattered equipment: Instruct crew members to immediately clean up the rig floor, organizing all equipment and removing any tripping hazards. Implement a policy for maintaining a clean and organized rig floor.
- Improperly labelled fire extinguishers: Ensure all fire extinguishers are properly labelled and accessible. Conduct a brief safety briefing with the crew, emphasizing the location and usage of fire suppression equipment.
- Weather forecast: Secure loose equipment and materials. Alert crew members of the weather hazards and emphasize the importance of safety precautions on slippery surfaces. Consider suspending operations if conditions become too severe, prioritizing safety over schedule.
Contribution to Safety and Efficiency:
- Safety: By addressing these hazards proactively, potential accidents and injuries are prevented, ensuring a safe working environment for all personnel.
- Efficiency: Promptly resolving these issues minimizes downtime caused by repairs or accidents. A safe and organized rig floor also contributes to smoother operations and prevents disruptions.
