2010 Soft Tissue Injury Prevention Safety Stand Down

We are requesting your support and participation in an exciting safety event planned for the construction industry across the state of Tennessee for June 14th, 2010.

We have partnered with other construction trade associations across the state, as well as TOSHA to have a statewide construction “Soft Tissue Injury Prevention Safety Stand Down”. As you are probably aware, sprains, strains and other soft tissue injuries are the leading cause of injuries in our industry. We also generally see a rise in accidents during the summer months of June through August. As such, we are scheduling this event at the start of this high hazard time of year to emphasize the requirements surrounding this important topic.

Here’s how the program will work:

1. Fill out the registration form and send it back to us so we can provide you with the following information electronically: Promo flyer and training information. We also want to be able to track the number of companies and employees impacted by the program.

2. You will need to make copies of the powerpoint training program to distribute to your supervisors/foreman that will be leading the training program in the field. 
   (It is recommended you print the slides as handouts/2 slides per page.)

3. On June 14th at 7:00 am you will “Stand Down” on all your jobsites to discuss soft tissue injury prevention utilizing the training information provided or another training program of choice.

4. Suggestions for making the training most effective:

   1. If you are a subcontractor, try to get the GC involved so it can be a site wide program. If you are a GC, please include your subcontractors.

   2. Have employees interact during the training by providing feedback on the types of activities they perform that can result in these types of injuries. Have someone demonstrate the safe way to lift an object.

   3. Contact TOSHA to have one of their trainers perform the training

We hope you will join us in what we feel will be an event that will truly impact the safety and health of the many hard working construction workers across this state.
