Two agencies within the U.S. DOL are partnering to host a webinar on April 8 aimed at helping employers implement safety initiatives for the 2026 Safety Stand-Down.
OSHA will lead the session to support businesses participating in the 20th annual Georgia Struck-by Alliance’s Safety Stand-Down. The event coincides with National Work Zone Awareness Week and encourages employers to pause operations to focus on injury prevention through education and safety demonstrations.
During the webinar, OSHA staff will provide free compliance assistance resources, information on consultation services and details regarding the Safety Champions Program. Officials will also offer practical guidance on hosting stand-down events and how to register for a workplace safety certificate.
OSHA recommends that employers hold stand-down events during several upcoming national observances, including National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction, Trench Safety Stand Down and National Heat Awareness Day.
Representatives from the Wage and Hour Division will also participate to discuss federal labor requirements. Topics include employer tools for the Family and Medical Leave Act, compliance assistance toolkits and the recently expanded PAID program, which helps employers resolve potential violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The webinar is free to attend, though registration is required.
