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?
