IPAF supports OSHA initiative
Washington, DC, United States
OSHA has promoted a national Safety Stand-Down from 2 to 6 June in an effort to raise awareness among employers and workers in the construction industry about the hazards of falls.
The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) fully supports the program and has encouraged all of its member companies to participate in the awareness event.
The Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary pause during the workday to allow dedicated time for employers and employees to focus on recognising hazards and preventing falls. The time can include toolbox or tailgate talks, safety presentations, or discussions on specific topics like ladder safety, scaffolding safety and the proper use of aerial platforms. The meeting provides information to workers about hazards, protective methods, and the company's safety policies, goals and expectations.
The program is a part of OSHA's fall prevention campaign.
