Stand Down


You and your company are invited to stand-up and show your commitment to safety by participating in our Safety Stand Down. RGV-AGC, along with OSHA’s support, have agreed to take the lead in asking the industry to Stand Down projects for up to 1 hour at the same time on the same day. We firmly believe taking this action as a construction community will make a strong statement about the importance of safety to each of us.
  • You agree to shut down all of your projects to 1hour designated for the Stand Down.
  • Your jobsite supervisors use the Stand Down to inform, educate and train workers on understanding safe and unsafe conditions and behaviors to eliminate hazards, incidents and near-misses.
  • Once we know you are on board, you will receive a detailed packet of information in English and Spanish to help your company prepare for the Stand Down and conduct the Stand Down. This packet answers questions about who participates, why do this in the first place, what are the benefits of a Stand Down, a sample meeting agenda for May 13th, instructions for effectively facilitating the Stand Down, suggested topics for discussion, and a safety checklist handout. Regardless of what we have accomplished in safety to make our jobsite safer, we must do more!
