The 7th annual National Safety Stand Down to Prevent Falls (NSSD) campaign will be held September 14-18,2020. This nationwide event recognizes the importance of implementing Fall Safety programs in each site in the U.S.

To make this the most successful NSSD ever, we have provided some information to get the word out. The information contains everything you need to provide Fall safety information to your employees. Fall safety programs and information can proactively identify and manage fall hazards before they cause injury or illness, improve worker/management relations and enhance the businesses bottom line. Participating in the NSSD can help get your program started, energize an existing program, or provide a chance to recognize your safety successes.

So review the information and put your event plans in action. Please provide the Regional contact (Todd Jensen) the number of employees you plan to reach.

Thank you in advance for your interest in safety.
