Commercial Construction Industry

Challenging Times Call for Bold Action!

May 7, 2008 • 10:00am-11:30am

You and your company are invited to stand-up and show your commitment to safety by participating in our Safety Stand-Down. Associations, along with OSHA’s support, have agreed to take the lead in asking the industry to Stand-Down projects for 1-1/2 hours at the same time on the same day. We firmly believe taking this action as a construction community will make a strong statement about the importance of safety to each of us.

You agree to shut down all of your projects for the 1-1/2 hours designated for the Stand-Down.
Your jobsite supervisors use the Stand-Down to inform, educate and train workers on understanding safe and unsafe conditions and behaviors to eliminate hazards, incidents and near-misses.
Once we know you are on board, you will receive a detailed packet of information in English and Spanish to help your company prepare for the Stand-Down and conduct the Stand-Down. This packet answers questions about who participates, why do this in the first place, what are the benefits of a Stand-Down, a sample meeting agenda for the 7th, instructions for effectively facilitating the Stand-Down, suggested topics for discussion, and a safety checklist handout.

Why? To take time out and refocus our attention on safety in order to heighten contractor awareness about creating safe work environments — this is especially important given the recent number of fatalities and incidents occurring in our area.

Who? General Contractor and Subcontractor members of sponsoring organizations and associations in the commercial construction industry in North and East Texas.
