Managing the Risk of Falling Objects
Falling objects are a very real, very serious risk at work
Kineo Courses are excited to announce that the new Managing the Risk of Falling Objects course is available!
Falling objects at work are dangerous. This might seem like an obvious statement, but it’s a fact backed up by some startling numbers. Since 2020, over 15,000 Australian workers were injured by falling objects in the workplace, almost 20 have died and more than 200 are now permanently disabled. Falling objects mean more than large objects falling – it can be something as innocuous as a power tool or building materials being dropped from the upper levels of a construction site or a scaffold. Anything heavy, no matter the size, has the potential to seriously injure or kill someone when it strikes them after falling.
Fortunately, following the proper procedures, identifying risk zones and establishing exclusion zones can go a long way towards managing the risks of falling objects. Kineo Courses’ Managing the Risk of Falling Objects course provides learners with an understanding of:
• the risks and consequences of falling objects
• how to identify the risk of falling objects
• how to manage exclusions zones, and
• how to control the risk of falling objects.
This course features high-quality illustrations, an engaging animation, interactive activities and information that focusses on the benefits of safely and correctly managing the risks of falling objects.
This course has been reviewed by a recognised subject matter expert in this space, Greencap.
