DROPS Awareness & Prevention
Description
A dropped object is defined as ‘any object that falls from its previous static position under its own weight’. If an object falls, the force of gravity will pull it towards the ground and if you happen to be in the way you’ll be hit; it’s as simple as that.
The degree to which you might get injured will be influenced by many factors, but the simple rule of thumb is, the heavier or the further an object can fall, the more damage and injury it can cause. This course will help you identify potential objects, and look at ways to reduce the risk of harm.
The training is developed to raise awareness of falling objects throughout the oil and gas industry and beyond. The training concentrates strongly on the basics of falling object hazard identification, risk assessment and effective risk management.
