Falling objects and exclusion zones

Stop things dropping, catch what falls, and keep people out of the zone below.

Key points

  • Stop the object falling first. Toe-boards, nets, tethers and tidy edges beat a helmet every time.
  • Mark a drop zone under every job at height and every lift. Keep people out with barriers, signs and, if needed, a sentry.
  • Never lift a load over people, and never throw or kick anything off an edge.
  • A safety helmet only stops light objects such as hand tools. It is the last layer, not the plan.
