Dropped Object Inspection
DROPS surveys that find falling-object hazards offshore and onshore.
Scope overview
Falling objects still cause serious injuries and fatalities on industrial sites. Skyhoist DROPS surveys identify loose, corroded, weather-damaged, or poorly secured items at height, then deliver photo-backed reports and practical recommendations for immediate and ongoing control.
- Surveys ranging from loose-item sweeps to full inventories
- Photo reports with immediate-action flags
- Coverage for derricks, masts, rigs, cranes, and flare stacks
- Recommendations for continuous DROPS prevention
How we help
01
Identify non-conforming items before they fall
02
Scale surveys from quick sweeps to full structure inventories
03
Act on photo-backed findings immediately after the survey
04
Build a clearer maintenance and re-inspection plan
Typical dropped-object sources
Most falling items come from equipment or materials that have loosened under vibration, corroded in place, been damaged by weather, or been left insecure after construction or maintenance.
- Loosened fasteners and fittings from vibration
- Corroded structural or equipment elements
- Weather-damaged fixtures at height
- Tools and materials left insecure after work
DROPS surveys
We survey all types of structures. Scope can be as focused as removing obvious loose items or as complete as a full inventory of equipment within the structure—matched to your risk profile and site access.
Detailed reporting
After each survey you receive a detailed report with photographs highlighting items that need immediate action. We also advise on non-conformances that can be corrected during or right after the survey, plus recommendations for continuous maintenance and future inspection.
Common survey areas
- Derricks, masts, and substructure
- Rig equipment packages
- Deck and gantry cranes
- Flare stacks and elevated structures
