Deaths from falls continue to rank #1 for construction employees in the US. OSHA has designated May 6-10, 2024 as National Safety Stand-Down, to prevent falls in Construction. Let’s all work together to make construction sites across the country a safer place to work at heights!
OSHA Safety Week is a great opportunity to refresh your safety procedures, but it’s also our chance to get out and make a difference on the ground. It’s what we’ve been doing for years, with virtual and in-person trainings. This year we hope to complete 50 visits and trainings over a single week. Make sure to book yours today!
A Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety. Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on “Fall Hazards” and reinforcing the importance of “Fall Prevention”. Employers of companies not exposed to fall hazards, can also use this opportunity to have a conversation with employees about the other job hazards they face, protective methods, and the company’s safety policies and goals. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see.
Anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace can participate in the Stand-Down. In past years, participants included commercial construction companies of all sizes, residential construction contractors, sub- and independent contractors, highway construction companies, general industry employers, the U.S. Military, other government participants, unions, employer’s trade associations, institutes, employee interest organizations, and safety equipment manufacturers.
