National Safety Stand-Down Week 2025: Free Training & Resources
Join FCFS and thousands of companies nationwide in building safer job sites through practical, hands-on safety education — during OSHA’s Safety Stand-Down Week, May 6–10, 2025.
Why Safety Stand-Down Week Is Important — And How to Make It Count
Falls remain the #1 cause of workplace fatalities, according to OSHA. Yet every year, companies struggle to make the most of this critical awareness week.
Real-world challenges we hear all the time:
- “We’re overloaded that week—it’s hard to prioritize.”
- “We’re told to do a stand-down, but given no materials.”
- “It’s just another box to check instead of real safety.”
We get it. That’s why FCFS offers practical support to help you make this week matter. From plug-and-play training content to expert-led sessions, we’re here to help make your Safety Stand Down Week 2025 impactful—not just compliant.
How to Host a Meaningful Safety Stand-Down in 2025
Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth, here’s a proven framework to run a successful event:
- Choose your date and format
You don’t have to hold it during May 5–9. Pick a date that works for your team. - Select relevant topics
From fall protection to ladder safety and confined spaces—pick what matters to your crew. - Promote it to your team
Get leadership buy-in and clearly communicate the goal. - Host the event
Keep it short (15–30 mins), relevant, and interactive. Think hands-on. - Collect feedback
Use a quick survey or informal debrief.
