Hi all,
Does any body have a definition for dropped objects that they use in their organisation?
Im trying to create a training material for people within our organisation, but am finding it quite diffecult to exactly define.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben,
it's not Friday so I take it that this is a serious question?
A dropped odject is something that is dropped by whoever or whatever was holding it.
Seems very simple to me.
Regards

Hi Rob,
Haha, it was a serious question.
I was more thinking about including in the definition all the classifications of dropped objects, such as slinging / rigging accidents, equipment falling from height, falling persons onto others etc

Hi,
North Sea Lifting (NSL) published a very good little pocket book "Falls and Falling Objects"
described as a training package for industry. In their intro they define "A falling object - anything from a small nut or bolt to a heavy load suspended by a crane, could also be a person. Even the smallest or lightest object falling a short distance can cause unpleasant injuries if it has sharp edges. A heavy load falling a short distance can often cause fatal injuries."

Hi Stephen,
Thanks very much, that sounds good to me. I'll just tweak it alittle for my organisation.
Best regards,
Ben
