The National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is in its 6th year, creating awareness and opening important conversations about safety and fall prevention in the construction industry.

The annual event was established in 2012 by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), together with NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and NORA (National Occupational Research Agenda – Construction Sector).

The primary campaign message: “Plan. Provide. Train. Three simple steps to preventing falls.”
• PLAN ahead to do the job safely before starting each and every job.
• PROVIDE the right equipment for working at heights.
• TRAIN workers to use the equipment properly and to work safely on roofs, ladders, and scaffolds.

Tri-State/Service Group believes all falls can be prevented through these steps.

Fall prevention is an important part of Tri-State/Service Group’s comprehensive safety program, “Working. Safe.” Our goal: zero incidents, zero injuries.
