Join us: National Safety Stand-Down To Prevent Falls in Construction Week May 6-10, 2024

Starting Monday, May 6th, the 11th annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will commence, running from May 6th to May 10th. As a component of the ongoing Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction, the Falls Stand-Down has disseminated valuable information and materials to countless individuals in the industry over the last decade.

A Safety Stand-Down represents a voluntary gathering where employers engage directly with employees regarding safety concerns. Any workplace has the opportunity to conduct a stand-down by pausing operations to address "Fall Hazards" and emphasize the significance of "Fall Prevention." Even in workplaces not typically exposed to fall risks, employers can utilize this occasion to discuss various job hazards, protective measures, and the company's safety protocols and objectives. Additionally, it provides a platform for employees to communicate with management about any fall or other job hazards they may observe. 

You are encouraged to demonstrate your commitment to workplace safety by participating actively.
