OSHA Wants Workers to ‘Step Up’ or ‘Stand Down’ for Safety
OSHA announces a national safety “step-up” to protect workers at oil and gas exploration sites, and sets the dates for the National Safety Stand-Down, which highlights the importance of preventing falls in construction.
OSHA is planning a 2016 Step-Up for Safety in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry to raise awareness among employers and workers about hazards in oil and gas exploration. During step-up events, employers around the country are asked to take time out to conduct site inspections, safety training and other activities. These events will be held mid-February until the end of March.
