Definitions
Static Dropped Object
any object that falls from its previous position under its own weight – where Gravity takes over!
Dynamic Dropped Objectany object that falls from its previous position due to applied force from equipment/machinery or moving object – like a collision, perhaps during lifting or stacking… think wind, pressure or electrical energy sources too

Static Dropped Objects
What are the Contributing Factors?
• Incorrect or home-made fixings
• Poor inspection, repair and maintenance
• Poor housekeeping, no control of items aloft
• Environmental factors over time
• Lack of experience, hazards not identified
When gravity takes over…
• Fixings fail (nuts, bolts, screws, clips etc.)
• Structure fails (gratings, signage, wind walls)
• Unsecured items fall (poor stacking, tools)

Dynamic Dropped Objects
What are the Contributing Factors?
• Unnecessary distractions whilst undertaking task
• Not following the plan or procedure
• Failure to recognize and manage change
• Lack of experience or knowledge
• No awareness of surroundings
Over 70% of Dropped Objects are dynamic
• Striking against/colliding with objects or structure
• Excessive vibrations and extreme conditions
• Heavy lifts, moves, activities where force is applied

What if?
If this machine bolt was to fall from 27m - and strike someone below, on the head (whilst wearing a hardhat), what could happen to them?
