Important information:
The Dropsafe DROPS Calculator is intended as a guide only. The purpose is to provide the user with a general
idea of the potential severity of a dropped object. A detailed and specific risk assessment will always deliver
a more accurate calculation of potential severity
The calculator assumes that full PPE (e.g., hard hat, safety boots, eye protection) is worn and that the object
is blunt.
This calculator is based on the original
DROPS Calculator
by the DROPS workgroup. We acknowledge their valuable contribution to dropped object risk awareness and
assessment.
