No alien sighting but falling objects danger: don&#8217;t watch your steps only while you&#8217;re on site.

For example, a bolt of 220g weight falling from 23m height strikes with 49kg weight circa: have\u00a0you ever think of being struck by a washing machine on site?<\/p>\n<p>A useful solution to avoid accidental tools fall from height is\u00a0using a tether or lanyard to anchor the tool to worker wrist or body alternatively to a structure fixed point. Now available there are few specific gear however using a rope, a wire or a lace properly tethered or fastened to both extremities, one to the tool and one to the anchor point, is often enough.<\/p>\n<p>To determine where to anchor\u00a0the tool you need to consider\u00a0tool weight and its use. Generally:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>weight &lt; 0,5kg &#8211; wrist, body (neck, belt) or structure<\/li>\n<li>0,5 &lt; weight\u00a0? 3kg &#8211; body (belt) or structure<\/li>\n<li>weight &gt; 3kg &#8211; structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>WARNING: when tethering any tool to a person or structure, always assess shock load to anchor point in case of tool fall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See attached DROPS Calculator and TY-FLOT poster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFO?
