The National Utility Contractors Association is hosting the seventh annual Trench Safety Stand Down June 20-24. The event aims to raise awareness of trenching and excavation hazards as well as promote safe controls. The organization is providing free resources and encourages involvement from businesses in the utility, residential and highway construction, and plumbing industries.
In July, OSHA unveiled a free sticker intended to remind workers of the three primary protective systems:
- Sloping (or benching). Cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation.
- Shoring. Installing aluminum hydraulics or other types of supports to prevent cave-ins.
- Shielding. Using trench boxes or other supports to prevent cave-ins.
