Stop The Drop

Dr. Barrie O’Sullivan (8th Feb – 2015)

Don’t leave tools, nuts ,bolts or any

other loose items or materials at heights,

they can fall and injure a co-worker

Don’t carry loose tools in pockets and do not use un-tied tools at

heights.

Carry tools in a tool belt and tie

them off

When ever you work off the

ground, or near opening where items can fall

and cause injury, maintain housekeeping.

Make sure there is edge protection,

barricade the drop zone

below

Be aware of your surroundings and don’t compromise barricades

Where else can we be at risk from dropped objects?

Consider

Not taking the height into account is like wearing a Parachute that opens on impact – Not much use at all.

The Height, The stretch &

the fall problem
