A grease gun dropped from a height of 30 feet generates enough force to kill a worker below. Even a smaller object, such as a screwdriver or shackle, can cause a serious injury when dropped from above. That’s why it is so important to prevent all dropped objects, without exception.

This program describes the hazards and risk factors that make dropped objects a serious problem at oil and gas installations and facilities. It also focuses on the best practices in dropped object prevention throughout the industry.

This training is also an excellent tool to help your company comply with dropped object prevention initiatives. Length: 12 minutes
