Ensure that workers are equipped with the right tools and equipment, including tool tethering systems, to reduce the risk of dropped objects.
All objects should be securely fastened to prevent them from falling. Ensure that all equipment is inspected and maintained regularly to avoid failure.GRIPPS offers a unique range of encapsulation devices as well as premium tool tethers.
Safety nets and barriers can be installed as an additional measure to prevent falling objects from causing injury.
It is essential to train employees on the importance of dropped object prevention and tool tethering. Proper training can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. GRIPPS offers both face-to-face and online training solutions for tool tethering and dropped object prevention.
One of the main advantages of using an external body or company for a worksite tool tethering audit is the impartiality and expertise they bring to the process. External auditors are independent of the organisation being audited, which helps ensure an objective evaluation of the tethering procedures and equipment. GRIPPS offer worksite audits as a service. Our team members bring a wealth of experience and knowledge on best practices for tethering tools and ensuring worksite safety, which can provide valuable insights and recommendations for improvement.
