Use this checklist to identify and control dropped-object risks across workshops and sites. Inspect general activities and lifting operations, verify exclusion zones around raised dump truck trays, and confirm lanyards and secure storage for tools at height. Review JHAs, capture photos, document noncompliances, and assign corrective actions with owners and due dates. Track completion and maintain compliance records to reduce incidents and improve safety performance.

Dropped Object Prevention Checklist
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.

Dropped Objects Inspection Checklist
This dropped objects inspection checklist helps teams plan and carry out work at height safely by identifying hazards, checking controls, and securing tools and equipment. It covers pre-work brief verification, assessment of tasks with dropped object potential, level or location of activity including WTG areas, and controls such as lanyards, tethers, and secondary retention. Inspectors review storage, temporary equipment, handrails, kick plates, decking gaps, and the setup of barriered drop zones. Use it to record issues found and actions taken to prevent injuries, asset damage, and downtime.
