A working group has prepared a draft.

Abstract

This document specifies minimum design, performance, testing and labelling requirements for tool container, tool attachment, tool tether and tool anchor attachment that reduce dropped objects incidents in industrial and occupational settings. Dropped objects include hand tools, instrumentation and other items that have to be transferred and used at heights. These objects have the opportunity of becoming dropped objects potentially resulting in struck-by injury or fatality or damage to equipment. This document is not used for the regulation of harness that used to protect workers from falling from a height.
