ASSP has introduced fall protection courses and new online safety resources to help safety professionals recognize the eighth annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction observed this past May. In participating in the stand-down, companies briefly stop work and present a site-wide toolbox talk or conduct another safety activity such as a safety equipment inspection, rescue planning exercise or discussion of job-specific hazards.ASSP's online Fall Protection Toolbox offers resources employers need to identify and control risks, provide relevant training and protect workers at height. The toolbox contains free webinars, articles and podcasts from industry experts as well as online instructor-led or self-paced safety courses. Safety professionals can also download a free copy of The Fall Protection Code that outlines the complete series of Z359 standards.
