The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) 11th annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is scheduled for May 6-10, 2024.
OSHA describes its Safety Stand-Down as a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety. The National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction focuses on fall hazards and was created to reinforce the importance of fall prevention.
To help employers prepare for this year’s event, OSHA has developed a page that answers frequently asked questions about how to conduct a Safety Stand-Down, who can participate, how to receive a certificate of participation and more.
OSHA also has shared a variety of downloadable tools and resources, including the official 2024 poster, to help employers participate in this year’s campaign.
