What is a Safety Stand-Down?
A Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers and employees to talk about safety. Taking a break to focus on "Fall Hazards" and reinforcing the importance of "Fall Prevention". A great time to talk about job hazards, protective methods, and the company safety policies and goals. And an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see.
