Dropsafehas pioneered Oil & Gas Industry adopted safety solutions for securing overhead fixtures like lights,

speakers, CCTV cameras and other items located or used at height on Oil & Gas facilities.

Dropsafeproducts are safety devices designed to prevent a DROPS situation. This is where items, equipment

or fixtures at height come loose and fall because of wear, fatigue, corrosion, poor maintenance, human error,

vibration, impact or being poorly secured. This situation may then result in the injury or death of any personnel in

or near the impact zone, or damage of equipment with further consequences, with severe negative implications

to personnel and facility stakeholders.

Since 1997, we have been designing innovative and award winning mesh-safety and mesh-security solutions

for customers worldwide. We work in partnership with HSE professionals and Asset Managers in the Oil & Gas

Industry to provide unique and effective solutions to enhance workplace safety.

The patented DropsafeNets are secondary retention safety devices that enclose and tether overhead fixtures

(e.g. lights, beacons, speakers, self-retracting lifelines, CCTV cameras, anodes, pipe clamps) located above

personnel or important equipment.

The products are specifically designed and tested to reduce the risk of a DROPS situation. This is where items,

equipment or fixtures at height come loose and fall because of wear, fatigue, corrosion, poor maintenance,

human error, vibration, impact or being poorly secured. This situation may then result in the injury or death of

any personnel in or near the impact zone, or damage to equipment with further consequences.

How the DropsafeNet works

The DropsafeNet fully encloses the item being secured, preventing both the item and fixture components

to become a DROPS hazard. The integrated securing cable attaches around a structural attachment point to

retain and tether both the item and if applicable the fixture mounting bracket.

Fixtures located above personnel

Fixtures on mobile equipment (e.g. crane booms)

Fixtures in potential impact zones of mobile equipment

Fixtures and mountings prone to vibration, wear and fatigue

Fixtures prone to internal or external corrosion

Fixtures located above important or expensive equipment

Fixtures located in areas difficult to access for maintenance or inspection

DropsafeNet Specifications

- Tim Marsh (Director of QHSE-APR, Seadrill)

The introduction of the DropsafeNet has provided us with a significantly improved safety tool for

our Dropped Object Prevention Program in our offshore workplaces. The provision of adequate secondary

retention of fixtures at height was a critical short-coming in ours and in many other offshore environments,

a problem now only effectively addressed through the innovation and introduction of this piece of safety

equipment. This product has met our key requirements in that it allows a dramatic improvement in the

safety of our workplaces, it positively enhances our Dropped Object Prevention Program and in doing

so, contributes to our overall safety performance, as measured by ourselves and more significantly by our

clients.

How the DropsafeBarrier works

DropsafeBarriers are mesh panels which securely attach to railings around walkways and stairwells or the

internal perimeter structure of a jack-up leg. The barriers fill the open spaces preventing access from below or

fall protection from above.

Safety Barrier

DropsafeSafety Barriers are mesh panels designed to prevent DROPS situations, and to assist containing

loose items to a particular area or deck level. Safety barriers can be installed along side & under stairwells,

along walkways and to railings around deck openings to prevent items falling from height - considerably

improving safety on the facility. DropsafeBarriers can be installed and used during maintenance periods or as

permanent installations during normal operations.

Security Barrier

DropsafeSecurity Barriers are designed to prevent unauthorised access, the large mesh panels are installed

horizontally, at deck level of jack-up rig legs to prevent unauthorised access from below. Having this deck level

barrier in place also helps contain loose items that may fall into the area of the jack up leg opening.
