Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme (DROPS)

Tailored surveys for business needs

A standard DROPS survey includes thorough inspections of derricks and cranes. However, at Control Union, we understand that each business has unique requirements. Therefore, we offer the flexibility to adjust the survey to fit your specific needs. Whether it’s applying the survey to production or accommodation platforms or incorporating additional equipment, our surveys can be tailored accordingly.

Specially trained DROPS inspectors

Control Union takes pride in having specially trained DROPS inspectors who have successfully completed courses at the DROPS institute. Their expertise allows them to effectively inspect, assess and identify potential hazards related to loose and dropped objects. By providing detailed reports and recommendations, our inspectors contribute to creating a safer work environment for your personnel.

Rope access trained inspectors for inaccessible areas

In situations where traditional access methods are challenging, Control Union offers rope access trained inspectors certified to IRATA level or equivalent standards. These highly skilled professionals ensure that the survey covers even the most inaccessible areas. By leveraging rope access techniques, we enable safe and efficient inspections at height, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the DROPS survey.
