OSHA’s “National Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction” is an annual voluntary event for employers to talk directly to all employees about safety and usually done the first week of May. On Friday, May 2nd, the eve of stand-down week, ARI Environmental and Quality Insulators did just that, bringing in safety professionals Chris Murray and Alex Crabbe from Werner and Rampart Safety respectively, discussing Fall Hazards and reinforcing the importance of Fall Prevention in construction. Falls are still the leading cause of worker deaths, so this dedicated time allowed for discussion on prevention strategies and reinforcement of safety expectations, with the ultimate goal to prevent injuries and save lives.

Safety discussions in general, are held daily at every jobsite, focusing on that day’s events and challenges, and being led in conjunction with site-specific safety and/or by company safety personnel, project managers and foreman. These discussions raise awareness, promote communication and strengthen our safety culture.
