Stop Falls Stand-Down Plan a toolbox talk or other safety activity Take a break to talk about how to prevent falls Provide training for all workers
STAND-DOWN OSHA NATIONAL CAMPAIGN Next month Teal will be participating in the OSHA National Safety Stand-Down campaign which educates our jobsite team on fall protection and preventing falls on our jobs. All superintendents will be required to have a tool box talk on fall prevention or another relevant safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. Superintendents are encouraged to plan a stand-down that works best for their project anytime during the May 2 -6. In 2014, 39.9% of the total fatalities in construction were caused by falls (349 out of 874). October 1, 2014 - February 7, 2015 490 reported job related fatalities. Teal should have and will have safety at the forefront of all our projects. We have to facilitate saftey conversations through preconstruction meetings and toolbox talks to train ourselves and the workers on our jobs. By
educating, we can prevent these fatalities. New Employee Spotlight Russ Brownrigg Estimator - Houston

New construction of a City Hall facility, including offices, conference rooms, covered bill-pay drive thru, and a large parking lot. The construction of the building tilt-wall construction with brick veneer exterior facade. Special provisions were made to erect with a crane on slab due to the protected trees throughout the site.
