The Site Safety Stand-Down Command Script
Recommended Spoken Script
What to say to all job site trades: "Shut down all power tools and gather around the staging area immediately. An unsecured scaffolding plank fell 6 stories on the west elevation. Nobody was injured today, but that was pure luck. We do not gamble with human lives on this job site. All trade work is halted until every foreman personally inspects and re-tags 100% of fall protection anchors."
