United Rentals Supports Trench Safety Stand
Down Week: June 19-23, 2023
United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), the world’s largest equipment
rental company, today announced an online series of trench safety
educational sessions that support the 2023 Trench Safety Stand
Down, which takes place June 19-23, 2023. The free training events
raise awareness around trench and excavation practices to help
contractors and utilities improve worksite productivity and keep
workers safe.
Trench Safety Stand Down is a North American initiative focused
on trench and excavation hazards, and reinforcing the importance of
using trench protective systems and protecting workers from
trenching hazards. The initiative encourages companies to conduct
or participate in safety activities that draw attention to the
specific hazards related to working in and around trenches and
excavations.
“Nothing is more important than safety on the worksite,” said TJ
Bryson, Trench Safety Region Sales and Marketing Director at United
Rentals. “At United Rentals, we believe compliance with trench
safety regulations and adhering to best practices can help drive
productivity. With expert knowledge and smart solutions, we can
help jobsite teams stay safe without sacrificing efficiency. Our
Trench Safety Stand Down training series provides an excellent
learning opportunity for companies to educate their workers on
safe, productive trench and excavation practices.”
2023 Trench Safety Stand Down Training Schedule
Anyone can attend these online educational sessions. To
register, please go to the United Rentals Trench Safety events
webpage. Here are the 4 training session topics and schedule:
Rethinking Trench Safety. During this session, experts
will discuss how inaccuracies regarding trench safety have come
about, and what the reality is. Pulling knowledge from experienced
staff is a good idea, on the condition that what is passed along is
correct. Over time, some information may become distorted.
Correcting any distortions becomes more challenging when these
errors are echoed by experienced crew members that should know
better. The session will explore how companies can determine how
misinterpretations regarding trench safety have developed and what
to do to correct them. Offered: June 20 at 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
EDT and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT.
A Safe Approach to Underground Utility Obstructions.
Attendees will hear an overview of regulations and approaches to
protect workers and underground installations when digging near
existing utilities. During the session, experts will explore
protective systems that can help maintain productivity and safety
when exposing, protecting and working around utilities in an
excavation. Offered: June 22 at 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. EDT and 3:00
p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT.
Trench Safety Stand Down week is an annual opportunity to
reinforce the importance of trench and excavation safety best
practices, explore resources and set an ongoing standard for safety
as a team.
