Last year, the Kentucky Labor Cabinet’s Occupational Safety and Health program contributed to the success of the campaign in many ways, from weekly announcements urging employers to participate in the campaign, featuring real life stories on their web page, and participating in four worksite events in three cities during the National Stand-Down – you can read about last year here. For the National Safety Stand-Down 2015, Kentucky has put up seven billboards across the state and has printed 5,000 Stand-Down postcards to distribute before the campaign.

      Join the Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction       The Safety Stand-Down is currently in its third year and gaining momentum as we gear up for 2016. Last year’s Stand-Down was a tremendous success, reaching more than 2.5 million workers – and we’re hoping to reach even more in 2016.  The Stand-Down provides an opportunity for employers to talk directly to employees about the risk of falls, protective methods, and the company’s safety policies, goals and expectations.  Companies can participate by stopping work and providing a focused toolbox talk on fall prevention, conducting equipment inspections, demonstrating fall protection and procedures, or any number of other activities that educate workers on fall hazards and solutions.   For more detailed information on how companies have participated in past Stand-Downs, check out Success Stories highlighting the actions of particular states, organizations, and companies in 2014 and 2015....
