Location: All Job Sites

TEXO members have set a precedent by participating in a Safety Stand Down, where all work is temporarily stopped on job sites across North and East Texas to show that safety awareness and education is important. We ask you to participate in a National Fall Prevention Safety Stand Down the week of May 8-12, 2017.  Use this opportunity to have an open discussion with your workers about falls and how to prevent them.

TEXO has developed resources you can use for your stand down, including other topics that could be more relevant to your job site. Please click here to access the resources as well as the participant report in order to lead a successful stand down event.
