Within the oil and gas industry, everyone knows the potential cost of a dropped object. It’s not just about equipment damage and lost production. It’s about life!
The problem is common to everyone in the industry, across all regions, sectors and disciplines.
IMCA is a proud member of DROPS – Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme which is an industry-wide initiative focused on preventing dropped objects, with the ultimate goal of delivering a second nature dropped objects prevention strategy across our industry.
DROPS is essentially a Global Work Group, represented by 200 operators, contractors, service companies and industry bodies, all sharing commitment and enthusiasm for the common goal of dropped object prevention.
To date, the DROPS Work Group has produced a broad array of tools, products and deliverables, including inspection programmes, awareness videos and presentations, safety checklists, guidelines, procedures and best practices.
Many of these products are available free of charge - either as downloadable templates or as promotional give-aways. However, for some products where significant effort has been expended in their production and refinement, there is a charge.
