3M Safety Stand-Down Resources


Focus on Fall Protection

The OSHA National Safety Stand-Down is a week dedicated to preventing falls in the construction industry. Fatalities due to falls continue to be the leading cause of death at construction jobsites, so Stand-Down events are intended to bring awareness to key hazards and prevention for workers. 3M is committed to providing fall protection leadership during Stand-Down week and will work with customers to schedule live Stand-Down events, and has created a toolkit that can be used virtually.
