American National Standards Institute/International Safety Equipment Association
Updates were recently made to the American National Standards Institute/International Safety Equipment Association consensus standard 121-2023 – Dropped Object Prevention Solutions. The changes are intended to enhance worker and facility protections from dropped objects on jobsites. The standard sets minimum design, performance, testing and labeling/markings requirements for preventive measures related to incidents of dropped objects. The standard includes clear guidance to minimize the risk while addressing four types of active-control equipment: anchor attachments, tool attachments, tool tethers and containers.
