Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction - Next Week! |
|
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has declared the week of May 2nd-6th, 2022, as the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction. CAM encourages all employers to participate. Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees, accounting for 351 of the 1,008 construction fatalities recorded nationally in 2020.
A Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers to take a moment to speak to their employees about workplace safety. It can be as simple as a 15-minute Toolbox Talk, a full fall protection training, or various events throughout the week. CAM members are invited to contact CAMSafety and request MIOSHA or CAM participation in their Stand-Down. CAMSafety can also assist with training your field personnel. CLICK HERE > to read more.

Get your oil changed, tires rotated, brakes replaced, etc. right in your own driveway or workplace. CAM has a affiliate agreement with Quiker, so CAM members save on this service! CAM staff just had Quicker out to service several cars, and it was a positive experience. CLICK HERE > to learn more.
