NRCA is a premier partner with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for the 13th annual National Safety Stand-Down May 4-8 to raise awareness among employers and workers about the hazards of falls in the construction industry.
OSHA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Occupational Research Agenda and CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training, among other groups, are leading the effort to encourage employers to pause during their workdays for topic discussions, demonstrations and training regarding how to recognize hazards and prevent falls.
OSHA also encourages people to use #StandDown4Safety to promote the event on social media, share feedback after their events and obtain a personalized certificate of participation.
Visit OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction webpage and CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training’s Stop Construction Falls webpage to learn more about the event.
