Preventing
Dropped Tools
Even Lightweight Tools Become Fatal Obstacles When Dropped From Height
Hand tools and materials become drop hazards in three ways:
1.) During usage when vigorous use and other factors can cause the user to lose control of the tool.
2.) During transportation of tools to or from location of work, collisions, lack of control and other factors can cause tools to be dropped.
3.) After use tools can be unintentionally left behind or placed aside on the working surface where they are no longer secured or being controlled.
As industrial hazards go, dropped objects are one of the most frequent and dangerous hazards workers face. Fortunately, they are also some of the most preventable. Successful implementation of a Drop Prevention Program is key to changing personnel behavior and reducing the number of dropped objects, thereby reducing the possibility of injuries and equipment damage. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 42,400 Falling Object Injuries recorded every year resulting in over 100 incidents per day, not including unreported incidents. ANSI/ISEA 121-2018 was created to serve as an American standard for drop prevention provisions, but it has since been globally recognized as a bench-mark for drop prevention product solutions’ design and performance requirements. Alphasource’s® Toolsaver® product line is fully compliant to these standards, and was created specifically to address the industry’s drop prevention needs.
