Join the 2021 Trench Safety Stand Down
the Week of June 14-18
|
|
The annual Trench Safety Stand Down takes place the week of June 14-18, 2021. Sponsored by the National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA), the Trench Safety Stand Down offers employers the chance to talk directly to employees and others about trenching and excavation hazards and reinforce the importance of using trench protective systems to eliminate hazards.
Companies can conduct a Trench Safety Stand Down by taking a break during the workday to offer a toolbox talk or other safety activity to draw attention to specific hazards related to working in and around trenches and excavations. After a Stand Down event, companies can provide feedback to NUCA for publication on their website, and a Certificate of Participation will be mailed to all participating companies. Visit the NUCA website for more information, including presentations, handouts, toolbox talks and more.
