Struck by falling objects is a leading source of construction fatalities. Even a small object falling from a height can cause serious or fatal injuries.
Preventing Being Struck by Equipment or Objects
Loads should not be hoisted or allowed to passover people.
Loads need to be secured when lifted by forklifts.
Hard hats can help minimize injuries to the head.
Toe boards need to be placed on all scaffolding and open elevations to protect workers below from falling materials such as lumber, brick, tools, and equipment.
Materials should be stacked appropriately and not leaning or ready to topple over.
Tools in elevated working areas need to be secured if close to leading edges.
