"NAXSA’s event is a week-long, nationwide mobilization of members and colleagues as lifesavers, promoting safety awareness and training through hands-on activities with customers, contractors, and crews,” said NAXSA President, Kevin Malloy. “The goal is to focus a full work week on reaching as many companies and workers as possible with critical information about the proper use of shoring systems — and to engage them in OSHA’s Subpart P to achieve NAXSA’s target of zero deaths and injuries."
Anyone new to hosting such events can download the full toolkit, including the Top 10 Reasons to Participate, suggested activities and a timeline, a link to NAXSA’s Local Media Relations Toolkit, hand-outs for training and education, and a set of thank you letters to accompany personalized Certificates of Participation that will be created by members (from NAXSA’s template) to congratulate every participant in each outreach activity — with all participants tallied for a final national count.
Shore Up for Safety materials position hosts, companies, and workers as positive, proactive lifesavers who will bring what they learn forward to help peers and meet challenges.
