4. Understanding Dropped Objects What is a Dropped Object? Any object / item that falls from its previous position (TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, STRUCTURE, LOOSE ITEMS, LIFTED OR TRANSPORTED LOADS, STACKED / STORED MATERIALS…). REMEMBER: GRAVITY IS A WORKSITE HAZARD!

5. Dropped Object Categories Static Dropped Object any object that falls from its previous position under its own weight – where Gravity takes over! Dynamic Dropped Object any object that falls from its previous position due to applied force from equipment/machinery or moving object – like a collision, perhaps during lifting or stacking … also manual handling, pressure or electrical energy sources too Now think about objects that can fall due to failure caused by repeated cyclic loading, environmental factors and movement –vibration, temperature, wind and so on…

6. Presenter Notes Insert your own images from your worksite showing examples of static and dynamic potentials If you wish, insert incident learnings which describe both static and dynamic incidents

7. Understanding Dropped Object Causes What Causes Dropped Objects? Poor Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Inadequate Design (not addressing Dropped Object potential) Human Factors and Error Traps Inadequate Inspection, Repair and Maintenance Redundant / Neglected / Homemade Tools and Equipment Failed Fixtures and Fittings / Corrosion / Vibration Overloading / Incorrect or Improper Use of Equipment and Tools Inappropriate Procedures / Not Following Procedures Inadequately Stored / Secured Tools and Equipment Poor Housekeeping Environment (weather, ground disturbance) Planning and Operational Miscalculations ….any others? And how to we address them as causal factors?

8. Personnel Dropped Objects account for around 35% of all safety related incidents… one of the top three causes of serious injury and fatality in Industry . Equipment and Environmental Damage Dropped Objects cause damage to plant and equipment... spills, loss of containment, lost time and money. Reputational Damage Not good for business… Dropped Object Consequences

9. DROPS Consequence Calculator (Metric) 12m 0.5kg 1.4kg 0.85kg

10. Dropped Object Consequences: Fall Energy If this machine bolt (220g) was to fall from 27m - and strike someone’s head (wearing a hardhat) , what could happen to them? EXAMPLE: 220g dropped from 27m Similar Consequence if: 0.8kg dropped from 7m 1.4kg dropped from 4.3m 58 JOULES (0.22kg x 27m x 9.8066m/s 2 – gravitational acceleration) HARDHAT is designed to withstand 95 Joules

11. The ‘Cone of Exposure’

12. Presenter Notes Conclude the first part by inserting recent dropped object incident summary from the rig and show video if appropriate Discuss the incident and share the learnings. At this point, take a break. Return (or host another session) to discuss the Controls we have that will reduce the likelihood of dropped objects and reduce the consequence should they occur.

13. Summary What do we know about Dropped Objects? Gravity is a Hazard, a constant force that cannot be isolated We must prevent the release of Gravity! Dropped objects can occur anywhere They can harm and they can kill Equipment and the Environment can be damaged Even small items can have severe consequence Static and Dynamic potential exists in all tasks There is a Company Procedure on Drops Prevention The DROPS Calculator is a tool that will inform our Risk Assessments, but can also be used after an incident There are many common causes and many are attributable to Human Factors – or the Error Traps that can lead to mistakes.

14. Dropped Object Awareness and Prevention YOUR ASSET TITLE Part 2: Preventing Dropped Object s (The Hierarchy of Control)

15. Preventing Dropped Objects: Hierarchy of Control Engineer the hazard out Change how people work Remove the hazard Replace the hazard Isolate people from the hazard Protect people with PPE Most Effective Control Least Effective Control

16. Dropped Object Prevention Controls Inductions, Training, Competence Continuous Hazard Awareness, Observations, Stop Work Authority Task Planning and Risk Assessment , TBT, PTW, Procedures, Management of Change Equipment Manufacturer Recommendations / Codes / Standards / Preventive Maintenance Control of Tools and Equipment at Height Reliable Securing - Primary fixings / Secondary retention Survey and Inspection , Certification (Colour Coding) Collision Checks / Checklists Safety Securing Systems, Barriers, Guards and Nets Red Zones / Restricted Access Areas / Cone of Exposure PPE Preventative Controls (responding to the threat): Mitigating / Recovery Controls:

17. TASK BASED RISK ASSESSMENT (All Personnel, All Activities) Identification of static and dynamic dropped object hazards and risk assessment should be documented during all Pre-Task activities and JS As (e.g. tools and equipment at height, collision checks, environmental factors, housekeeping, removal/replacement of equipment at height, concurrent operations and application of DROPS Calculator in the assessment process).

18.  WHAT CAN DROP? Hand tool, sheave, light fixing, guardrail, hatch, pin, bolt, stanchion, basket, tubular, block, cap, waste, flange, cover, bracket, die, spacer, shackle, top drive, latch, board… identify likely consequence using the DROPS Calculator  WHY WOULD IT DROP? (Common Causes) Poor fastening, vibration, corrosion, collision, snagging, weather, human interaction, shock load, incorrect installation, blown over, loss of preload, over tension, overloading, incorrect use, unclear procedure, home made equipment…  WHEN IS IT MOST LIKELY TO DROP? During unfastening, during lifting or manhandling, during excessive vibration and shock loading, during rotations or side movements…  WHERE COULD IT DROP? Directly to level below, over the side, through open hatches, into tanks, into critical equipment areas, deflect/bounce beyond barricade… identify potential for deflection using the DROPS Exclusion Zone Calculator  HOW CAN THE DROPPED OBJECT BE PREVENTED? Hierarchy of Control! Eliminate, Substitute, Engineered controls (reliable securing), Planning, JSA, TBT, Procedure, collision checks and checklists, pre-use inspection, DROPS inspections, tools and equipment inventories and logs…  HOW CAN RISK BE MITIGATED? Safety Securing Devices, Tethers, Nets, Mats, Toe Boards, Drops/Red Zones, Barriers, Barricading…

19. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT AT HEIGHT All parts, equipment and materials that are worked with at height shall be secured against being dropped. Smaller parts shall be stored in suitable storage boxes, bags, etc. In restricted areas, such as the derrick, man-lifts and cranes, tools used at height shall be logged out and in to ensure that nothing is left behind.

20. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT AT HEIGHT All temporary tools and equipment taken aloft must be recorded in the register. When the work is finished, a final check and inventory count shall be carried out to ensure that no tools, equipment or materials are left behind at height.

21. RELIABLE SECURING Reliable Securing provides a safeguard against potential yielding, displacement or failure of fastenings which can lead to equipment or structure falling. It also reduces the consequences of dropped objects through implementation of appropriate safety securing systems.

22. RELIABLE SECURING PRINCIPLES: PRIMARY FIXINGS Confirm Primary Fixing method ( ie clamping, bolting, pin, turnbuckle etc ) is appropriate and as per OEM recommendations. Consider materials, tensions, tolerances as per Bill of Materials. Consider the effect of vibration or other dynamic forces that could cause disengagement.

23. RELIABLE SECURING PRINCIPLES: SECONDARY RETENTION Confirm Secondary Retention device ( ie lock washer, tab washer, lock nut, cotter pin, lock wire etc ) is installed correctly as per OEM recommendations. Consider how these devices lock in the tension on a bolted connection, prevent movement or reduce the effects of vibration. There are primary fixing methods (such as some beam clamp designs that do not feature any secondary retention.

24. RELIABLE SECURING PRINCIPLES: SAFETY SECURING Confirm Safety Securing nets or wires are rated, correctly secured to the structure and in good condition. Ensure these are replaced if removed for maintenance or if they are subjected to any loading.

25. DROPS VISUAL INSPECTIONS Annual DROPS Surveys and Systematic Inspections are performed to ensure all items are secured in areas where there is significant potential for personnel injury or asset damage if a dropped object event was to occur. Pretask inspections of all equipment, tools and worksites are performed to ensure all items and components are secured to prevent dropped objects.

26. RED ZONE MANAGEMENT Restricted Access Zone: Medium potential risk – restricted access zone is an area in which a dropped object potential has been recognized. No-Go Areas / No Entry Zone: High potential risk – no go areas / no entry zones is an area in which dropped object potential has been recognized.

27. RED ZONE MANAGEMENT Routine Operations: Drilling, Tripping (RIH, POOH, Drifting, Making Up) Non-Routine Operations: Derrick Maintenance and Inspection, Tubular Pick Up and Laydown, Jarring, Wireline, tool and tubular transfers with crane, slick line operations…

28. KEY CONSIDERATIONS? (If working in the Red Zone) Every task, even mundane activities require a plan; All operations will be conducted under PTW; Only persons required for the task may enter; Minimise exposure, identify step back areas when machinery is moving ; Be aware of all other hazards; No personnel may join a task without a Tool Box Talk; Follow Red Zone Marshall’s instructions at all times.

29. Understand Each General Requirement? TASK PLANNING AND RISK ASSESSMENT All repairs and maintenance work carried out at height shall be risk assessed. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT AT HEIGHT All equipment used where there is a risk of the equipment falling to an underlying level shall be secured against being dropped. Smaller parts shall be stored in suitable storage boxes, bags, etc. In restricted areas, such as the derrick, man-lifts and cranes, tools used at height shall be logged out and in to ensure that nothing is left behind. When the work is finished, a final check and inventory count shall be carried out to ensure that no tools, equipment or materials are left behind at height.

30. Understand Each General Requirement? RELIABLE SECURING All equipment used where there is a risk of the equipment falling to an underlying level shall be secured against being dropped. SURVEY AND INSPECTION Each rig shall maintain a complete inventory of non-structural equipment that is installed in the derrick. A weekly derrick/mast inspection shall be conducted for loose or unsecured equipment. A regular rig DROPS inspection shall be conducted for loose or unsecured equipment.

31. Understand Each General Requirement? RED ZONES Exclusion zone management shall be established to prevent unauthorized personnel entry into work areas in which any work at height or hoisting is being conducted (to include zones where personnel are ‘guarded by position’ from dropped objects). REPORTING Any dropped object shall be considered a serious incident, regardless of potential severity, and fully investigated in accordance with the Company incident investigation standard.
