According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, falling objects and equipment caused 255 workplace fatalities in 2019. Research from the Center for Construction Research and Training also found that falling objects accounted for 80% of struck-by injuries in the construction industry.
In addition, OSHA identifies hand tools and building materials among the common objects involved in falling-object incidents. Construction faces a particularly high risk, while workers in manufacturing, transportation, offshore, and other industrial environments also encounter serious dropped object hazards.
These statistics demonstrate the improtance of effective dropped object prevention measures in areas where people work at height. Solutions such as a dropped object barrier system help prevent tools, materials, and other objects from falling from elevated walkways, platforms, stairways, and access areas. Without appropriate falling object protection, companies can expose workers and equipment below to unnecessary risks. Businesses that fail to control falling object hazards and maintain workplace safety measures may also face serious consequences – including:
- Legal penalties
- Regulatory fines and penalties
- Damage to reputation
- Compensation claims
