National Safety Stand-Down To Prevent Falls in Construction: May 6-10
This year’s National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will take place May 6-10. The Stand-Down is a week-long event that invites employers to pause work on their job sites and have a conversation with workers about fall hazards, protective methods, and their company’s safety policies, goals and expectations. This should also be an opportunity for workers to talk to management about fall hazards they see.
For more information on how to participate, check out the redesigned stopconstructionfalls.com. You can also order free hardhat stickers and hazard alert cards, download training materials such as toolbox talks, find infographics and social media messaging, and much more.

Materials to Support Women, Nonbinary, and Transgender Construction Workers
Because women, nonbinary, and transgender workers in construction face specific challenges, CPWR has developed resources to respond. The newest are the Physicians’ Alert: Pregnant Construction Worker Safety and Health to support workers’ ability to remain on the job safely for as long as they wish during pregnancy and return safely after giving birth, and a collection of Work-Related Task Lists by Construction Occupation, which workers can share with their doctors so they understand what is involved in the job and recommend appropriate care, accommodations, or other considerations. These new offerings join existing materials such as CPWR’s webpage of resources on women in the trades, a list of commercially available extended-size PPE, and a recent Data Bulletin and Data Dashboard on women in construction.
