Protecting Your Workforce from Dropped Objects – Harness Equipment & GRIPPS Global

At Harness Equipment, we're proud to be a major distributor of GRIPPS®, a global leader in engineered drop prevention solutions. GRIPPS is dedicated to eliminating critical risks and saving lives through innovative, high-performance tool tethering systems designed for the toughest work environments.

Dropped objects remain one of the most underestimated yet dangerous hazards on site. As highlighted in GRIPPS' “What Happens When They Drop” poster, even a 1kg hammer dropped from 30 metres can generate impact forces equivalent to a car engine. The risks are real and potentially deadly.

Start Assessing Risks Today

Too often, dropped objects are treated as an afterthought. But understanding and managing these risks is vital for site safety. That’s why Harness Equipment offers free on-site toolbox talks designed to help your team:

• Raise Awareness: Understand the true risks of dropped objects and how they occur.

• Support Compliance: Learn about the forces generated by falling tools and how they affect people and structures on site.

• Go Beyond Exclusion Zones: While important, exclusion zones alone are not enough. In reality, deflection occurs more often and over greater distances than most anticipate.

Our toolbox talks are short, engaging, and tailored to your work environment. We’ll also showcase the full GRIPPS range of drop prevention products and collaborate with your team to design custom solutions that suit the exact tools and tasks at risk on your site.

Whether you’re at the beginning of your height safety journey or refining your current systems, we're here to help.

Let’s work together to create safer, smarter worksites where everyone gets home safe, every shift.
