Dropped Objects Safety Checklist

by Lisa Johnston, from the Community

Use this dropped objects safety checklist to prevent hazards during wind turbine work. It guides teams through pre-work briefings, assessing potential drop risks by location within the WTG, planning controls, and confirming primary and secondary retention devices. Inspect storage and housekeeping, secure tools with lanyards and tethers, remove redundant equipment, and verify handrails, kick plates, and decking gaps. Establish and barrier drop zones when required, then capture findings, photos, and signatures for accountability. Adapt the checklist to your site and jurisdiction.
