In support of the Safety Stand Down campaign from June 18-24, 2023, the Safety Stand Down Sweepstakes Quiz has become live, featuring questions that reinforce key messages and practices behind the theme, “Lithium-Ion Batteries: Are You Ready?”
Safety Stand Down campaign
Each year, the Safety Stand Down campaign and sweepstakes quiz is organized by the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®), the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Safety, Health & Survival Section, the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), and the Fire Department Safety Officers Association (FDSOA), with the collective goal of focusing attention on a particular responder safety concern during the third week in June.
2023's Safety Stand Down works to help ensure that firefighters know how to safely handle lithium-ion batteries in a variety of situations and scenarios.
