  2. Safety Stand Down Introduction: • What is a safety intervention? • To involve oneself in an at-risk situation so as to alter or hinder an action or the development if an incident or injury. • A safety intervention is action taken to prevent an injury or incident from occurring. • What is at-risk? • At-risk behavior is a behavior that exposes a worker to a potential injury.
