A NOPSEMA submission documents a dropped object incident involving a 5.7kg flare pipe support that fell from approximately 4 metres above deck on 30 June 2019. The document includes photographic evidence of the suspected impact location on deck, the position where the operator found the object resting, and the attachment point from which it fell. Using the DROPS (Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme) calculator, the incident was assessed as having potential fatality outcome based on the object's mass and fall height, assuming full PPE was worn and the object had blunt edges. The submission appears to be part of an initial incident report to NOPSEMA detailing the dropped object circumstances and risk assessment calculations.
