  • What is a Stand Down?

Companies who know the value of safety training use a Safety Stand Down to stop all work and provide a focused safety meeting on one particular topic. These types of meetings provide effective communication of safety policies, goals and expectations through all levels of a team.

OSHA believes there is tremendous value in committing 30 minutes to one hour of your day’s work to talk about safety, leading to increased employee safety morale. Stopping work to talk about safety brings it to the forefront of everyone’s mind!

  • Who can participate?

Participants may include employer’s trade associations, federal, state and local governmental agencies, professional societies, institutes, and consumer/labor-management interest organizations, sub-and independent contractors.

  • How to Conduct a Safety Stand Down and FAQ's

Companies can conduct a Safety Stand Down by taking a break to have a toolbox talk or another safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. Managers are encouraged to plan a stand down that works best for their workplace.
