Gravity
This card shows the energy in this activity and what to verify before starting. It's a reference, not a step-by-step procedure. The checklist below stays on this screen; nothing is saved or sent.
A tool or fixing dropped from height concentrates energy into a small point of impact on anyone below.
High-energy check
Even small items dropped from upper levels can exceed injury thresholds. Calculate mass and height rather than judging by size.

For your SPA or pre-start
State what is being used at height, how each item is tethered or contained, and the exclusion that keeps people out from below the work.
