Skiles Group hosted safety standdowns across all of our projects in the month of May in conjunction with OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls and with the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) for Mental Health Awareness Month. We also hold these standdowns to serve as worker appreciation events and celebrate their efforts.
With falls remaining the leading cause of injury and death in our industry, we focused on safety concerns with ladders, lifts, scaffolds, and fall harnesses. With respect to mental health awareness, we held discussions on the topic of suicide prevention and shared resources.
