ASA-HC JOINS SEVEN INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE JUNE FALL PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH

The week to promote OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction was set to happen May 4-8, but, like so many others things in the last three months, it was put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. OSHA will reschedule the Stand-Down week for later in the year, but in the meantime, ASA-Houston Chapter is thrilled to be a part of an eight organization alliance formed to shine a spotlight on fall prevention in construction during the month of June.

A big shout out to our awesome Safety committee for taking an idea in mid-May and turning it into a reality in less than three weeks!

Watch your email and social media (#fallpreventioncampaign #fallpreventioninconstruction #fallpreventionforyourfamily) throughout this month for information and tools including fall statistics, OSHA videos for falls in construction, video fall prevention toolbox talk, Accessing Safety Knowledge (ASK) sheets, Houston Fall Prevention Alliance toolbox talks, fall prevention jobsite signage and fall safety at home.
