National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction, taking place May 4–8, 2026, is a nationwide opportunity for construction employers and workers to pause and focus on one of the industry’s most critical safety issues. Falls continue to be a leading cause of serious injuries and fatalities on jobsites, making regular education, awareness, and open conversation essential. During this week, companies are encouraged to engage crews in meaningful discussions, review fall protection practices, and reinforce a shared commitment to sending every worker home safely at the end of the day.
