Safety, Health, Environmental & Quality Bulletin No 644

Objects Falling From Height

Please see enclosed a safety alert regarding a dropped object that was shared with us by Artelia.

This incident is a reminder of why safety helmets should always be worn whilst on site. Put your PPE
on as soon as you arrive on site.

When working at on scaffolds / towers, always ensure that toeboards are in place. Any materials, tools,
plant or waste used when working at height should be secure, if necessary tie it down. Consider the
weather conditions, large signage panels can easily catch the wind so ensure they are adequately stored
and secured.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
