National Stand Down Event
The 13th annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will be held May 4th-8th, 2026. The Stand-Down is an opportunity to pause work to improve fall prevention planning and talk about fall safety with crews, crew leaders, and everyone on your jobsite. Employers have conversation with workers about fall hazards, protective methods, and the company’s safety policies, goals and expectations. Workers learn about fall prevention and protection, talk to management about fall hazards they see, and provide input about how to improve safety at work.
While powered access remains one of the safest methods for performing temporary work at height, incidents involving mechanical or technical failures can still lead to serious injuries and fatalities. IPAF emphasises that many of these incidents are preventable through consistent inspection routines, proper maintenance, and adherence to safety procedures.
