What is the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction? |
The National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees by taking a break to focus on fall hazards and to reinforce the importance of fall prevention. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see. This year’s Safety Stand-Down takes place the week of May 3-7, 2021.
Anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace can participate in the Stand-Down. Companies can conduct a toolbox talk or safety equipment inspection, develop rescue plans or discuss job specific hazards. Managers are encouraged to plan a stand-down event that works best for their workplace.
OSHA also hosts an Events page with events that are free and open to the public to help employers and employees find events in their area. If you plan to host a free event that is open to the public, submit the event details on the Events page and contact your Regional Stand-Down Coordinator.
