Did you know that dropped objects during work-at-height is a big problem on the jobsite?
The most recent annual statistics cited 278 deaths caused by dropped objects in the U.S. and 52,700 injuries — making dropped objects the third-leading occupational safety hazard. Employers paid out $5.2 billion in workers' compensation claims because objects fell from at-height worksites onto people below. Drops also cause lost productivity due to retrieving items, environmental contamination and damage to infrastructure below.
There are specialized training, procedures and products designed to reduce and eliminate drop hazards in the oil and gas industry, yet many companies aren’t aware of them.
