Dropped Object

This document summarizes safe work practices to prevent dropped object incidents discussed in a toolbox talk. It recommends eliminating hazards by removing unnecessary tools and objects from higher levels. It also suggests installing engineering controls like barricades, toe boards, and nets to protect workers below. Personal protective equipment like hardhats is a last resort and does not prevent incidents, only limits damage. Attendees of the talk signed the document.

Discussion Safe Work Practices to Prevent Dropped Object Incidents
Points
Eliminate the hazard: Remove objects and tools from higher levels, scaffolding, or aerial
lifts that do not need to be there. Removing objects that can pose a hazard to people
working below is the best option to prevent a dropped object incident.

Engineering controls: Barricade zones below higher work levels to prevent personnel
from walking into the line of fire of a dropped object. Install toe boards on higher work
levels to make sure objects and tools cannot easily slide off an edge to a lower level.
Place nets or some type of protective barrier above ground-level workers if there is
continuous work being performed above a work area. Another engineering control is the
use of tethers or anchors for tools and objects that are being used on a higher work level.
This limits the object from falling.

PPE: Anytime there are overhead hazards present on a job site, hardhats need to be
worn. PPE is always a last line of defense. Wearing a hardhat will only limit the damage a
dropped object does, not prevent it from happening. Rely on eliminating the hazard or
installing engineering controls to reduce the chance of objects striking ground personnel
instead of PPE to lessen the blow.
