DROPS Outline
CAOEC developed a DROPS Outline to provide members with a starting point for Dropped Object Prevention programs. CAOEC members who execute work where a person may potentially be exposed to dropped objects and wish to develop a Dropped Object Prevention Program may utilize the information given in this outline to develop unique dropped object prevention policies, procedures, and inspections applicable to the equipment and scope of work.
The outline applies to all well servicing units and encompasses all work activities that expose or have the potential to expose workers to the hazards of dropped objects.
Members can download the outline by logging in to the member portal.
