   • Identify the responsible person for project accountability
   • Obtain, read, confirm and apply work instructions
   • Identify and report all potential hazards
   • Coordinate job requirementswith others at the site
2. Prepare pumping and fluid systems
   • Confirm pumping and fluid parameters
   • Ensure pumping and fluid parameters have been met by Derrickman
3. Make up required fishing equipment
   • Confirm with authorised responsible person what is required to be run down hole
   • Obtain and review SOP/JSA and/or manufacturers operating instruction for fishing tool/s to be used in the operation
   • Assemble and record fishing tool/s details such as ID/OD/lengths
   • Make up fishing assembly
4. Run in hole to latch fish
   • Run to depth and parameters, and avoid well underbalance or hang-ups
   • Trip tubing/rods while maintain well control
5. Progress to latch and retrieve fish
   • Latch fish as per the running and latching procedure
   • Trip out of hole while maintaining well control
