Posted By Joe I have an issue with dropped objects and i'm looking to put together a "meaningful" presentation in order that person understand the potential consequence of their actions whether from the potential of dropping an object or from getting themselves in a position that where if equipment might fail there would be potential for the object cause injury to them from a fall. Would like to keep it specific to the construction industry, any thoughts on materials, or good pictures that would trigger thought.

Posted By nheathsiae Hi Joe, Recently redid all my WAH Courses (Mobile Phone Industry) but we were shown a very "dangerous" (funny) clip of "what not to do". I'll see if I can get hold of it for you!! Cheers Nick

Posted By Anthony Edwards Joe, Don't know if this is any use to you but I was conducting an audit of a site and was just getting off a ladder which went through three lifts of scaffolding and felt a mighty thump on my hard hat, the site manager had got onto the ladder as I was getting off and his tape measure which was attached to his belt became dislodged and fell. Much amusement to his fellow workers but not to him as he sheepishly made his way down. Hard Hats do work!! Nutty

Posted By Chas You could illustrate the detrimental consequences of dropping tools etc at inappropriate times by showing the recent images of a NASA astronaught dropping their toolkit which then floated off into space whislt working on the International Spacestation. (Is this classed as working at height? :-)

Posted By KB Joe I have recently seen a very very good video from SGB called the cost of accidents. My understanding is that the video is free. It is construction based with a twist and is very relevant to falling objects. It last about twelve minutes so should keep the attention span as well. Hope this helps
