2. Struck by Falling Objects

The risk of striking by falling objects is high in the Marine Industry, especially during lifting
operations as well as times of working at height. Following precautions should be taken to prevent
struck by falling object occurrences.
 Do not allow objects (loose plates, off cut metal pieces, etc.) to fall from height with particular
reference to ship side steelwork in docks. Ensure that these items are properly secured and/or
safely cleared from height.
 Always secure hand tools when working at height.
 Do not leave tools/scraps on staging or near edge of platform unnecessarily. Remove them
soonest if possible.
 All hand tools should be carried in suitable bags/containers at work sites.
 Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads or where overhead work is in progress.
 Do not throw down any items, tools and other materials from above. Lower them safely with
appropriate rope/wire and lifting bag.
 All deck openings should be provided with proper coamings around to prevent rolling objects
into the opening.
 Ensure checking of lifting equipment/hand tools to avoid any failure which can result in falling
object.
 Ensure that barricade is sufficient to cover the drop zone. When determining the drop zone, be
mindful that items that fall down may fall at a wider zone when it hits the ground or objects in
way.
 Respect the barricade; stay clear/do not cross any lifting zones/barricaded areas. This applies
to instances whereby soft barricade is damaged and lying on the ground.
 For persons who are assigned to stand by as watchman, maintain a safe distance from the ‘drop
zone’ and be alert at all times.
 Always put on your helmet at work area with chin strap on.
