When good intentions arent enough Resource Image

About

This short animation brings to life a real dropped-object near miss during scaffolding work at height, where an 8kg tube fell more than 15 metres, landing just 1.5 metres from workers below.

The video highlights the importance of following permit requirements, carrying out effective hazard checks, reassessing conditions as work progresses, and applying best practice to prevent dropped objects. It reinforces how small gaps in planning and communication can increase risk, even when everyone has good intentions.
