OSHA Training Center Invites the Construction Industry to Participate in OSHA's National Safety Stand-Down
 
The OSHA Training Center at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District is inviting construction industry employers and workers to participate in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's National Safety Stand-Down during the week of June 2-6, 2014, to help raise awareness about the hazards of falls, which account for the highest number of deaths in the construction industry. The Safety Stand-Down program is a voluntary opportunity for companies to talk directly to their workers about fall hazards and to reinforce the importance of fall prevention.
  

 

 

OSHA's message to the construction industry is simple: safety pays and falls cost.

 

How to Prepare for a Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction


Since falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction workers, raising awareness of the many potential fall hazards on construction sites is critical to reversing this troubling trend. Participation in the National Safety Stand-Down gives construction employers and workers the opportunity to join with many other companies throughout the U.S. to focus on fall prevention.

 

Preparation is the key to conducting a successful safety stand-down. The following are suggestions for how to approach the planning and execution of effective fall prevention stand-down activities:

  • Designate a coordinator to organize the stand-down. If you have multiple worksites, identify who will lead the stand-down at each site.
  • Ask your subcontractors, owners, architects, engineers or others associated with your project to participate in the stand-down.
  • Review your fall prevention program to help in the development of a stand-down focus or goal.
