Have Ideas to Improve OSHA's Fall Safety Stand-Down Program?

Posted on 11/5/2024 by Lion Technology Inc.

OSHA’s National Fall Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction is an effort to raise fall hazard awareness across the country and stop fall fatalities and injuries.

Employers participating in the Stand-Down program are asked to fill out a questionnaire to confirm their participation. OSHA is seeking public comments on whether that questionnaire (OMB No. 1218-0271) is useful and whether the Agency is collecting the right information.

View the request for public comment.

Specifically, the Agency wants feedback on the following issues.

Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful;

The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and

Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply. For example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques.

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!

This training broke down the regulations in an easy-to-understand manner and made them less overwhelming. I now feel I have the knowledge to make more informed decisions.

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

The course is well thought out and organized in a way that leads to a clearer understanding of the total training.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!
