DROPS Calculator Excel version

Dropped-Object-Consequence-Calculator-2021.zip

MS Excel based calculator for determining potential consequence of a dropped object. This tool is best employed to inform risk assessments, but may also be used to classify potential outcome post incident.

The DROPS Calculator provides a common benchmark in the classification of the potential consequences of a dropped object. One of a number of similar tools, the DROPS Calculator is endorsed by the DROPS Workgroup. While other ‘calculators’ exist, they all follow the same principle – plotting the mass of a dropped object against the distance it falls to determine its possible consequences.

With special thanks to all those who have assisted with its development over the years.
