Content DescriptionThe International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA), in conjunction with industry stakeholders, has developed this standard to establish design, testing and performance criteria for active systems used to prevent dropped objects in the workplace. This standard is the first of its kind to address equipment used to tether and/or contain hand tools, components, structure, and other objects from falling from at-heights applications. Struck-by falling objects kill hundreds of individuals each year and injure tens of thousands more. Increasing numbers of employees are finding themselves ascending to heights to complete their work, often directly over or adjacent to their colleagues, bystanders and other individuals at lower levels. Protective equipment, such as hard hats, have long been available to minimize the effects of struck-by incidents only after an object has fallen. Preventative measures such as netting and toe boards are also a mitigating practice for this this risk, however there are challenges to these solutions, and they do not entirely prevent incidents. Active controls utilized to prevent falling objects by tying them off or containing them while at heights are a rapidly growing practice. Recognizing the benefit of these active prevention practices, it is the mission of this group to create guidance for this equipment. This standard refers to these active dropped object prevention controls and outlines four categories of equipment: Anchor Attachments, Tool Attachments, Tool Tethers, and Containers. The standard is limited to the identified scope and offers further guidance in the appendices that follow. Utilization and use of the equipment outlined in this standard may differ between manufacturers offering it and employers using it. The effective date of this standard is July 2, 2024.About ISEAISEA is the leading association for personal protective equipment and technologies that enable people to work in hazardous environments, and an ANSI accredited standards developing organization. The association works closely with manufacturers, test labs, subject matter experts, end-users and government agencies in the standards development process. ISEA members-leaders in safety equipment manufacturing, testing and application-are united in the goal of protecting workers worldwide. |
