Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme or DROPS is the industry- wide initiative focused on preventing dropped objects, with the ultimate goal of delivering a second nature dropped objects prevention strategy across the industry. 3rd Line is able to prevent potential dropped object by conducting regular surveys and rectification works in accordance with the DROPS best practices. This in turn reduces costs for our clients in comparison to the implications when someone is injured or when properties are damaged by falling objects.

DROPS surveys on derricks, cranes and other dangerous areas
Written and photographic evaluation reports
Securing suspended loads, lighting, wiring, etc.
