DROPS Survey (Dropped Objects Prevention Study)
A DROPS Survey is a critical safety assessment conducted to identify, evaluate, and control potential dropped object hazards in lifting equipment, structures, and operational areas. Dropped objects pose a serious risk to personnel, assets, and operations, particularly in industrial, offshore, and construction environments.
This service involves a systematic inspection of fixed and loose items located at height, including lifting equipment, cranes, derricks, platforms, handrails, tools, and structural components. The survey assesses securing methods, fastening integrity, secondary retention, and overall condition in accordance with industry best practices and recognized DROPS prevention guidelines.
Our DROPS Surveys are carried out by competent and experienced inspectors trained in dropped object risk identification. Findings are clearly documented, risk-ranked, and supported with practical recommendations to mitigate hazards and enhance safety performance. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of dropped object incidents, ensuring safer operations and compliance with site safety requirements.
