NIOSH is letting employers and workers who face fall hazards know that this year's 4th Annual National Safety Stand-Down (May 8-12) has a large number of resources and information available to protect workers.

OSHA's National Safety Stand-Down website can help plan stand-downs and provides details on how to conduct a stand-down, receive a certificate of participation, and access to free education and training resources. Also available are free 2017 Stand-Down posters.

According to the NIOSH news release, previous users have conducted trainings, demonstrations, toolbox talks, drills, and more by mining the website for ideas.
