Abstract
The handling of drilling jars can present safety hazards when they are being serviced, transported, loaded or<br>unloaded, handled on the rig floor, run in hole or racked in the derrick. Dangers are especially prevalent if the drilling jar is<br>not equipped with a mechanical locking device. These tools present a potential hazard to personnel because of the possibility<br>of inadvertently activating the jar.
