Definitions
▪ Static Dropped Object
any object that falls from its previous position under its own weight –
where Gravity takes over!
▪ Dynamic Dropped Object
any object that falls from its previous position due to applied force from
equipment/machinery or moving object – like a collision, perhaps during
lifting or stacking… think wind, pressure or electrical energy sources too
