Safety Stand Down
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
It's that time of year again...Safety Stand Down Week is fast approaching! We encourage our members to participate in this year's Stand Down during the week of May 7-11. Last year 7,000 construction industry personnel participated across 400 jobsites, and we look forward to breaking that record during our first year as the merged Chicagoland AGC.
Participation is a great way to boost morale at the beginning of the busy summer season, as the Stand Down allows you to demonstrate your commitment to the safety and well-being of your workforce. Each year the CAGC, in conjunction with the Safety Committee, creates and provides participating companies with an easy-to-implement curriculum covering the year's safety topic, and member companies cease work for approximately 30 minutes to give a training on that topic. This year's topic is worker self-empowerment regarding safety.
Please register your commitment to participate via this link and indicate the person responsible for overall coordination (or forward this email to your safety director to complete). We will follow up with that individual to ensure a seamless and successful Stand Down Week.
