What are we asking of you?
• Identify hotspots or jobs where dropped objects are at the highest potential (areas/tasks)
• What can be done to prevent dropped object incidents at these locations and during these jobs? Plan in advance.
• Barricading/segregation• Tools to minimize the potential for an object to be dropped? (tethering,
etc…)
• What barriers would prevent us from implementing these controls and how can these be overcome?
