Falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of construction fatalities — and all are preventable. The National Safety Stand-Down raises fall hazard awareness across the country in an effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries. Please take time this week to focus on fall hazards that you may encounter and fall prevention strategies. Review your safety training materials and policies and spread awareness to all employees so that fall hazards can be identified and, most importantly, prevented.
