The Deadly Impact of Falling Tools from Heights: Statistics and Prevention Measures
This fact highlights the urgent need for all height professionals to update their working methods and thereby control the risk of falling objects, in addition to implementing new procedures that will change these statistics in the future.
The dynamic force around a falling tool can be easily underestimated. However, recent studies have further evidenced the deadly nature of falling objects.
A 220-gram wrench falling from a height of 23 meters generates an impact force of 50 kg. This is equivalent to a full toolbox!
A 1 kg pliers falling from a height of 10 meters generates an impact of 100 kg, which is 100 times greater than its weight!
A 2 kg tool falling from a height of 6 meters generates an impact force of 117 kg. Almost 5 bags of cement!
A helmet will have little effectiveness against these impacts due to the energy generated by the height of the falls.
The toolSafe System includes four sets of solutions, according to their use
Engagement elements for tools
Solutions for creating anchorage points in tools
Fastening tape and metallic rings (D-rings or Delta rings) work together to create secure anchorage points on the tools.
