DROPS Focal Point Program info sessions

This information session is focused on the DROPS Focal Program, a structured initiative designed to strengthen dropped‑object prevention through clearly defined roles, practical tools, and consistent application of good practices across industrial operations.

The session will explain what the DROPS Focal Program is, why it exists, and how it supports organisations in systematically reducing dropped‑object risk. It will outline how the program reinforces proactive hazard identification, effective inspection and maintenance practices, and clear accountability to prevent dropped‑object incidents before they occur.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the DROPS Focal Point role, including its responsibilities, scope, and position within an organisation’s existing safety and risk‑management framework. The session will explore how focal points support operational teams and leadership, coordinate prevention activities, drive follow‑up actions, and promote continuous improvement related to dropped‑object risk.

This is an information‑focused session rather than a forum. It is intended to provide clarity on the DROPS Focal Program, practical insight into how it can be implemented, and a solid foundation for organisations or individuals considering adopting or strengthening a DROPS focal capability.
