Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on fall hazards and reinforcing the importance of fall prevention. It&#8217;s an opportunity for employers to have a conversation with employees about hazards, protective methods and the company&#8217;s safety policies and goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall hazards they see. Companies can conduct a Safety Stand-Down by taking a break to have a toolbox talk or another safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. Managers are encouraged to plan a stand-down that works best for their workplace anytime during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-suggestions-for-a-successful-stand-down\">Suggestions for a Successful Stand-Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Promote Your Safety Stand-Down<\/h3><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Blue National Safety Stand-Down Promotion Kit\" href=\"\/pd\/blue-safety-stand-down-kit-cs594154\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/b\/l\/blue-prevent-falls-safety-stand-down-kit-cs594154.jpg\" alt=\"Blue banner, poster and helmet labels kit for National Safety Stand-Down\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Green Yeah I Am Not Falling Stand-Down Helmet Label\" href=\"\/pd\/yeah-im-not-falling-stand-down-helmet-label-cs314533\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/y\/e\/yeah-im-not-falling-stand-down-helmet-label-cs314533.jpg\" alt=\"Green safety stand-down hard hat label\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Orange Falls Can Be Prevented Stand-Down Hard Hat Label\" href=\"\/pd\/falls-can-be-prevented-stand-down-helmet-label-cs181698\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/f\/a\/falls-can-be-prevented-stand-down-helmet-label-cs181698.jpg\" alt=\"Orange safety-stand-down helmet label\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Yellow National Safety Stand-Down Promotion Kit\" href=\"\/pd\/yellow-safety-stand-down-kit-cs470808\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.compliancesigns.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/y\/e\/yellow-prevent-falls-safety-stand-down-kit-cs470808.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow safety stand-down poster, hard hat labels and banner kit\" width=185\" height=\"185\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Try to start early. Designate a coordinator to organize the stand-down. If you have multiple work sites, identify the team that will lead the stand-down at each site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Get others involved. Ask your subcontractors, owner, architects, engineers, or others associated with your project to participate in the stand-down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Promote your stand-down to workers, subcontractors and everyone else on your project. You can use posters, banners and hard-hat labels, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Review your fall prevention program &#8211; and what types of falls are likely to occur at your worksite. This will help provide a more effective stand-down. Common incidents include falls from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ladders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roofs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scaffolds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structural steel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Falls through a floor or roof opening or a fragile roof surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fall-protection-questions-to-ask\">Fall Protection Questions to Ask:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What needs improvement? Is your program meeting its goals? Are you experiencing fatalities, injuries, or near misses? Are employees aware of the company&#8217;s fall protection procedures? What training have you provided to your employees? Does it need revision? What equipment have you provided to employees? Is better equipment available?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-steps-for-your-stand-down\">5 Steps For Your Stand-Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Develop presentations or activities that will meet the needs of your employees. The meeting should provide information about hazards, protective methods, and the company\u2019s safety policies, goals and expectations. Hands-on exercises (a worksite walkaround, equipment checks, etc.) can increase retention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decide when to hold the stand-down and how long it will last. Decide if the stand-down will take place over a break, a lunch period or some other time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote the stand-down. Make it interesting to employees. Some employers find that serving snacks increases participation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold your stand-down. Be positive and interactive. Let employees talk about their experiences and encourage them to make suggestions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow up. If you learn something that could improve your fall prevention program, consider making changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stand-down-resources\">Stand-Down Resources:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/StopFallsStandDown\/resources.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stand-Down and Fall Prevention Materials<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/StopFallsStandDown\/faqs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stand-Down FAQs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/StopFallsStandDown\/calendar.html#tab1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find events in your area<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionsafetyweek.com\/\">Construction Safety Week information<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/products\/industrial-notices\/safety-banners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Construction Safety banners<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/products\/industrial-notices\/ladder-scaffold-signs\">Ladder Safety signs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/compliancesigns.com\/products\/ppe\/fall-protection-ppe-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fall Protection PPE signs<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees.
