Dropped Objects Prevention

The traditional approach to managing dropped objects in the offshore work environment has been to apply best practices for existing equipment. ABS has raised the bar on “best practice” by publishing the first-of-its kind class standard. 

An estimated 10 percent of fatalities and thousands of medical treatment and lost-time injuries are caused by dropped objects. Addressing the situations that lead to dropped objects in the workplace has the potential to improve offshore safety and, ultimately, could save the lives of offshore workers.

 

ABS Guide Helps Prevent Dropped Objects

The new ABS Guide for Dropped Object Prevention for Offshore Units and Installations includes a program of requirements and best practices to protect assets, personnel and working environments from dropped object incidents.
