This dropped object prevention checklist helps teams control hazards during work at height. It covers pre-task planning, inspection of tools and equipment, tethering and secure storage of personal items, use of approved tool bags, and removal of unused materials. The checklist includes encapsulation and edge protection, covering holes and gridmesh, housekeeping standards, barricading and clearly marked drop and exclusion zones, and safe lifting of items to elevated areas. Use it to verify controls on scaffolds, platforms, and cranes and confirm the area is free of potential dropped objects.
