Dropped Object Analysis

Rizzo Engineering provides Dropped Object Analysis services to complement other risk assessment services on offer.

Dropped objects are significant initiators of incidents in many industries and are substantial contributors to the total risk for offshore and onshore facilities.

The consequences of a falling object include:

• Personal injury/death;
• Structural damage;
• Damage to equipment;
• Release of hydrocarbons/fire.

Rizzo Engineering’s Dropped Object Analysis utilises a mathematical model that compares the mass of the dropped object with the height from which it falls to determine the force of impact and therefore categorise the damage caused.

Benefits include:

• Identification of risks;
• Identification of high hazard zones;

Determination of required protection.
