​SEAA Stands with Ironworkers: Tie-Off to Prevent Falls

SEAA supports the national safety stand-down to prevent falls in construction. The week-long focus on fall prevention is held annually in the spring.

We encourage our members to plan events at their job site. SEAA has compiled resources and best practices for members to hold effective Safety Stand-Downs. 

Members have the option every year to order banners and hard stickers to utilize during their events. 
Deadline to order is April 14, 2025.
