Today is Day Four of OSHA’s Fall Protection Stand Down Week to raise awareness of preventing fall hazards in construction. This is the fourth of five daily reminders that CCIA is sending out to you this week to encourage you to conduct a Stand Down training event at some point during this week, and report, through this link on the CCIA website, the number of employees you have trained in Fall Protection.

Today’s topic is Ladder Safety, and we are providing to you several resources available on the OSHA website, for your use in conducting a Stand Down training program.
