Dates Announced for OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down

The agency has announced it’s eighth annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will be May 3 - 7.

OSHA has announced its eighth annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction for May 3 - 7, 2021, according to a press release from the agency.

Since 2014, OSHA has been partnering with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, National Occupational Research Agenda and The Center for Construction Research and Training to bring awareness and develop better fall protection programs on construction sites. Since the first Stand-Down, OSHA says the collaboration has helped to training nearly 10 million workers on fall protection.

“Workers suffer serious and fatal injuries from falls and have a devastating impact on families and businesses,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health James Frederick. “This important collaboration with the construction industry encourages employers to learn how to better control fall-related hazards and improve their safety and health programs.”

The agency is now encouraging construction employers and other stakeholders to join the event to promote awareness and training to address one of the industry’s most serious dangers. Employers can use OSHA’s Fall Prevention Stand-Down webpage to find a wide range of compliance resources in many languages, including Spanish.

OSHA urges those who participate in the event to use #StandDown4Safety to promote the event on social media, as well as share feedback and obtain personalized certificates of participation.
