Recommendation 024N/2018: Prevention of Dropped Objects
There are still too many incidents involving “dropped objects,” and this therefore constitutes a significant safety challenge. Investigations have shown that these challenges are linked to work processes, behavior, and inadequate securing of equipment. The industry has, at intervals, conducted a number of campaigns with encouraging results, but a major breakthrough has yet to be achieved. SfS (Safety Forum) wishes to highlight this safety challenge by pointing to what we consider best practice in the industry.
Recommendation 024N now consists of 4 parts:
Part 1: Handbook “Prevention of Dropped Objects” Rev. 4, with a focus on operational personnel.
Part 2: Management elements in the value chain.
Part 3: Functional requirements for establishing visualized inspection systems.
Part 4: Posters – Safe Securing.
SfS publishes its documents only in Norwegian and English but allows and supports translations into other languages (the Handbook, for example, has been translated into Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese). SfS does not publish, and is not responsible for the content or translation of, publications in languages other than Norwegian and English.
