January 2010
Historically, dropped objects have played a principal
role in oil and gas incidents. This situation should
not be tolerated or allowed to continue. We must
eliminate this type of incident.

Dropped objects is a collective issue and not just an

operator or a rig owner’s problem; it is a common
problem for everyone in our industry.

It occurs in most areas of the oil and gas industry,

including fixed installations, mobile drilling units
and land rigs and in all areas of our supply chain,
including the office.

The solution is not an individual one, but a common

solution, one that can be practiced by everyone
who is involved in our industry.

Stop Work Authority

Stop Work Authority (SWA) is the responsibility and

authority of any individual to stop work when an unsafe
condition or act could result in an undesirable event. By
failing to exercise SWA when needed, your behavior sends
the message that the practice is acceptable.

Stop Work Authority

It is your responsibility – and
you have the authority
Your ideas and concerns
are important

We always comply with the Tenets

of Operation shown on the previous
page of this guide. Any employee
or contractor is responsible and
authorized to stop any work that
does not comply with these tenets
and there will be no repercussions.
That is our commitment to you.

Dropped Objects Prevention | 1

 3.0 Goal/Objective

The objective of this booklet is simple guidance to

eliminate dropped objects through:

 Identification and understanding of potential workplace

dropped objects hazards

 Creation of a dropped objects work group

 Understanding the various levels of protection that are

available to prevent dropped objects

 Selecting and supplying the right level of mitigation

 Raising the overall awareness of dropped objects

The contents of this booklet apply to all Chevron

personnel, contractors and subcontractors working on
sites under Chevron operational control.

2 | Deepwater Exploration/Projects
 4.0 Definition

A dropped object is:

“Any object, with the potential to cause death, injury or

equipment/environmental damage, that falls from its pre-
vious static position under its own weight.”

When referring to dropped objects, consider:

 Hand tools being used at heights
 Hand tools/equipment left behind after working
at height

 Operations conducted at height

 Equipment mounted at a height that, following contact,
vibration or environmental conditions, could fall, i.e.,
piping, lights, cameras, rigging gear, etc.

 Temporary equipment at height

 Where personnel are working on a level directly below

the work site

 Lifting operations

Dropped Objects Prevention | 3

 5.0 Why Focus on Dropped Objects?

Dropped objects are regularly the principal causes of

incidents in the oil and gas industry and contribute to the
total risk level for offshore and onshore facilities.

The consequences of a falling object include:

 Personal injury/death
 Structural damage
 Damage to equipment
 Release of hydrocarbons/fire

 No equipment maintenance
 Poor designs
 Weather
 No restraints
 No planning
 Load miscalculation
 Lack of risk assessment
 Errors in space requirements
 Instability
 Ineffective control of equipment or tools taken aloft
 No lanyards on tools used at height
 Improperly secured or inappropriate loads
 No regular inspection procedures
 Becoming blind to changes in activity (dynamic
risk assessment)

 Carrying equipment while at height

8 | Deepwater Exploration/Projects
 What are the Effects of a
10.0 Dropped Object?

Even a small object falling from a height can cause serious

or fatal injuries.

The potential harm to the individual has been determined

using the Dropped Objects Calculator.

The Dropped Objects Calculator was developed with a

mathematical model based upon the mass of the object
and the height from which it falls.

This calculator and other resources can be found at:

 12.0 Recommended Actions

1. Create a dropped objects work group specific to

the site.
2. Complete a derrick or work site dropped objects
inventory with the Chevron HAZARD ID tool.
3. Use the inventory to develop an inspection program.
4. Introduce working at height procedures.
5. Introduce specific toolkits for working at height.
Implement processes to account for tools.
6. Raise overall dropped objects identification and
mitigation among the workforce.
7. Train relevant personnel to identify and mitigate
dropped objects processes.
8. Secure tools from dropping to lower levels.
9. Following Job Safety Environment Assessment
(JSEA) guidelines, erect signage and physical barriers
to restrict access before work is conducted overhead.
10. All rigging risk assessments require consideration
of the risks involved in moving equipment at height.
11. Review and revise JSEAs for dropped objects
potential.
12. Introduce regular dropped objects campaigns.
13. Schedule regular Hazard Hunts.
14. Review handling and securing procedures for tubular
components.
15. Introduce area ownership, and hold personnel
accountable.
16. Add secondary retention, and consider safety
systems, such as safety nets.
Dropped Objects Prevention | 11
17. Inspect personal protective equipment (PPE), for
example, safety harness, lanyard and chin straps.
18. Inspect all overhead equipment and locations for
loose items that may present a hazard during
maintenance activities.

13.0 Secondary Retention

Secondary Securing Devices

Secondary securing devices (SSDs) secure a component

at height, if the primary securing method fails. This could
be a secondary safety wire (SSW), a safety net or some
other engineered method designed for this function. SSD
selection should consider the shock loading that may
occur if the primary securing method fails. The integrity
of the SSD will deteriorate over time and exposure to the
elements and needs to be inspected.

Secondary Safety Systems

Secondary safety systems are fail-safe systems

incorporated into equipment to ensure integrity of
that equipment if the primary safety system fails. For
example, a racking arm runs along a beam and is hoisted
and lowered with a wire. If the wire fails, an inertia brake
prevents the arm from freefalling to the ground.

Secondary safety methods to secure equipment and

machinery at height is detailed in the Reliable Securing
document published by DROPS.

 Chevron Hazard ID Tool:
15.0 A 360-Degree Approach

No matter where you work, from offshore platforms

to onshore refineries, and in offices around the world,
hazards are present. Inadequate identification of those
hazards can lead to incidents and injuries across
our industry.

Chevron has developed a tool that every employee and

contractor can use to identify hazards.

A hazard identification tool should:

1. Be simple and intuitive to use.

2. Provide a platform for continuous and sustained

improvement.

3. Be culturally neutral (easily understood in as many

different cultures and languages as possible).
4. Improve the individual worker’s ability to identify
hazards.

5. Integrate easily with other hazard identification

processes (Loss Prevention System [LPS], JSEA,
Behavior-Based Safety [BBS] and Permit to
Work [PTW]).

Dropped Objects Prevention | 15

A hazard identification tool should NOT be another
process to implement.

16 | Deepwater Exploration/Projects
Hazard ID Tool Purpose:
 Increase awareness of energy sources that present
hazards in the workplace.

 For dropped objects, identify and eliminate gravity

hazards through a focused Hazard Hunt.

Gravity Hazard Examples:

 Crane loads being lifted

 Falling objects, like tools overhead
 Body trips or falls

Are there any gravity energy conditions at your location

that could pose a hazard?

 Areas routinely occupied under potential falling objects,

such as overhead loads or tools? Are they identified?

 Areas requiring fall protection PPE?

 Surfaces slippery or wet from weather conditions, water
or oil spills?

 Stairs and ramps with loose or missing handrails or

damaged tread?

 Surface protrusions or loose surfaces, such as

thresholds, cover plates or grating or unsecured
floor mats?

This simple tool is a wheel featuring graphic icons

illustrating specific sources of energy that, if not properly
handled, could lead to injury or damage to property or
the environment.

Dropped Objects Prevention | 17

Energy sources are always present in the environment.
Every aspect of our daily life requires the use of energy in
one form or another. However, some energy sources can
contribute to the dropped object hazard.

Those energy sources are:

Gravity – Enables objects to fall, roofs to collapse and

people to trip and fall

Motion – The movement of vehicles, vessels, water, wind

or even body movement

Mechanical – Rotating equipment, drive belts, conveyers,

motors or compressed springs

Electrical – Including power lines, transformers, static

charges, lightning, wiring and batteries

Pressure – Piping, compressed cylinders, tanks, hoses,

pneumatic and hydraulic equipment

Temperature – Including ignition sources, hot or cold

surfaces, steam, friction and weather

Chemical – Vapors, toxic compounds, combustibles,

corrosives, welding fumes and dusts

Biological – Bacteria, viruses, animals, insects, and

contaminated food or water

Radiation – Including solar rays, microwaves, X-rays and

welding arcs

Sound – Equipment noise, vibration, high-pressure release

and even voice communication

 16.0 Part of a Complete Safety Package

The Hazard Identification Tool has been designed as either

a stand-alone resource or to augment existing processes
such as safe work practices, JSEA and PTW.

It is important to understand that this is not a new process

to implement. It’s a new tool that can enhance our
existing processes by strengthening our ability to
recognize hazards.

Hazard Hunt Using the Hazard

16.1 ID Tool

Purpose

 Increase awareness of energy sources that present

hazards in the workplace.

 Identify and eliminate motion hazards through focused

Hazard Hunts.

 16.2 What is a Hazard?

A hazard is a condition or action with the potential for

an unplanned release of, or unwanted contact with, an
energy source that may result in harm or injury to people,
property or the environment.

Motion

20 | Deepwater Exploration/Projects
 What to Do Following a
16.3 Hazard Hunt

 Use SWA to immediately address the imminent hazards.

 Prioritize hazards and identify actions required to

eliminate or mitigate.

 Enter maintenance items into database.

 Leaders communicate a summary of the Hazard Hunt by

email to their immediate manager.

Gravity

Dropped Objects Prevention | 21

 16.4 Inspections

One of the most important aspects of a good dropped

objects program is the ability to inspect all equipment
aloft.

 Periodic inspections identify potential hazards.

 Report all non-conformities found in these inspections

for correction immediately.

16.5 Temporary Equipment

 Any temporary equipment brought into the site is

subjected to the same guidelines as fixed equipment.

 Site management ensures inspection of any third-party

equipment before installation.

 To ensure all temporary items are accounted for

and have been removed, document the temporary
equipment.

 Review all temporary equipment to ensure hazards from

dropped or falling objects are identified and monitored.

22 | Deepwater Exploration/Projects
 17.0 Area Ownership

Site management should clearly identify all risk areas and

assign risk area ownership.

 Divide the location into areas.

 Assign the areas to an individual or group to check the

area as often as the level of risk demands.

 Use checklists for consistency.

 Identify actions for each area of concern.

 Deal with all actions.

 Include any transportable or temporary equipment.

 To make the area safe, use SWA if a dropped object

is found.

18.0 Pre-Job Risk Assessment

Complete a pre-job risk assessment such as a JSEA

before beginning any job/task, with the following goals
in mind:

 Identify any dropped object hazards before starting a

job or task and communicate these at a toolbox talk.

 Include discussions on tools and equipment in the JSEA.

 Ensure all personnel are involved in the discussion,

understand the associated hazards and implement the
mitigation.

 Include the use of a dropped objects checklist.

 I Chose to Look the Other Way
I could have saved a life that day,
but I chose to look the other way.
It wasn’t that I didn’t care.
I had the time, and I was there.

But I didn’t want to seem a fool,

or argue over a safety rule.
I knew he’d done the job before.
If I called it wrong, he might get sore.

The chances didn’t seem that bad,

I’ve done the same, he knew I had.
So I shook my head and walked on by,
He knew the risks as well as I.

He took a chance, I closed an eye,

and with that act I let him die.
I could have saved a life that day,
but I chose to look the other way.

Now every time I see his wife,

I’ll know I should have saved his life.
That guilt is something I must bear,
but it isn’t something you need to share.

If you see a risk that others take,

That puts their health or life at stake,
The question asked, or the thing you say,
Could help them live another day.

If you see a risk and walk away,

then hope you never have to say,
I could have saved a life that day,
but I chose to look the other way.
