Dropsafe nets to protect companies against dropped object hazards

HSE

More than 300 of the world’s major oil and gas companies have adopted Dropsafe’s stainless steel mesh nets to protect against the risk of dropped objects, consolidate best practice and improve workplace safety

Dropsafe is the leading provider of dropped objects prevention solutions for the global oil and gas markets.

The threat posed by dropped objects on industrial sites such as offshore oil and gas platforms, rigs, vessels and onshore facilities is well-established, with drops among the top 10 causes of fatality and serious injury in the sector. Furthermore, they commonly result in a significant cost, both financial and reputational, to management teams.

As the industry increases its focus on driving up safety standards, high-quality mesh nets are becoming the favoured solution to these challenges. Dropsafe nets securely enclose and tether overhead fixtures such as lights, speakers and CCTV cameras, to prevent dropped objects falling from height and threatening the safety of personnel. The technology further provides application-specific solutions for a wide range of fixture types, enabling customers to confidently improve workplace safety and minimise risks to operational integrity.

“The installation of high-quality nets also protects against the significant financial, legal and reputational consequences that can arise from an accident, including liability for employee compensation, the costs of material damage to project infrastructure, and the reputational damage caused by a high-profile safety incident,” according to Dropsafe.

Dropsafe provides mesh-security and mesh-safety products to a number of project sites across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the USA.
