Oil rig as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code identifies an oil rig as the specific location where an injury or other adverse health event occurred due to an external cause. It signifies that the patient's condition resulted from an incident that took place on an offshore or onshore oil drilling or production platform.

Use this code when documenting injuries, illnesses, or other adverse events sustained by individuals (e.g., workers, visitors) while on an oil rig. This includes incidents such as falls, machinery accidents, fires, or exposures to hazardous substances occurring within the confines of the rig.

• Always use this code as a secondary code, following the primary code for the external cause (e.g., W01 for fall, X00 for exposure to uncontrolled fire).
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the incident occurred on an "oil rig" or similar terminology.
• Do not use this code for incidents occurring during transport to or from an oil rig, unless the transport itself is part of the rig's operations and the incident occurred on the rig's premises.
