Summary of the lecture
Dropped Objects have the potential to cause serious or fatal injuries to workers or cause expensive damage to equipment that they strike.
The potential for harm, even a long way from the drop site makes dropped objects an important addition to consider when planning work at height.
In this webinar, we will explore the statistics behind dropped objects and understand the potential for injury and damage that they have as well as looking into the ways in which we can control those risks and the equipment available to provide safe and effective solutions.
