becoming a dropped object cannot be removed or suitably secured.
Verify the competence of all service providers prior to conducting the survey.
Ensure that the Company requirements regarding the use of the Dropped Object Survey
and Inspection Standard are communicated.
Approve the addition of items to Section 4 Subsection 8 Other, of the Survey and

1 GENERAL
Dropped object surveys are those conducted by Company approved Service Providers and
dropped objects inspections are those conducted by installation or facility personnel.
1.1 Purpose
Surveys and Inspections must be performed to ensure the following:
Equipment is secure and fitted with primary retention and secondary retention where
required.
Repeat finding from previous surveys or inspections must be highlighted and reported to the
OIM and Rig Manager. An investigation based upon the potential dropped object severity
must be conducted to establish the cause(s) of repeat findings. Actions must be put in place
to prevent further recurrence.
The Dropped Object Survey and Inspection Process is outlined in Figure 2.1.
Jarring operations
Severe Weather
Equipment collisions
Note: Any equipment or structure involved in a collision must be inspected under the
supervision of the Area Authority for damage and potential dropped objects.
Any item normally suspended from the side of the rig must also be secured or removed prior
to projects, for example, lifebuoys, floats, or signal smoke equipment.
All fail items and redundant equipment in these areas must be either removed or secured as
required, prior to permitting access.
This survey does not replace the 2 yearly survey scheduled within the CMMS and is not
inclusive of the Survey and Inspection Criteria within this standard.

All Fail items with a high potential of becoming a dropped object must be removed or
suitably secured immediately. If the item cannot be removed or suitably secured
immediately, the Area Authority and OIM must be informed and actions put in place to
ensure a safe place of work.
Any fail item not at immediate risk of becoming a dropped object must be reported and
discussed at the end of tour with the OIM.
All Fail items identified in the survey or inspection report that could not be immediately
corrected must be tracked in CMMS / FOCUS, with no items exceeding a 90 day period.
Where applicable, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specific Picture Books must be
made available as additional reference for Surveys and Inspections.
Prior to conducting surveys, the competence of all Service Providers must be verified by the
Rig Manager.
Communicate the Survey and Inspection Standard and use of the Company approved
reporting format.
Establish any additional scope to the Survey and Inspection Criteria, for example any
equipment fitted, replaced or modified since last survey and any fixed Service Provider
equipment.
The meeting must be held by the Rig Manager and include the Lead Surveyor who will
conduct the survey, and the OIM or designee.
