The Trench Safety Stand Down, taking place on June 19 in collaboration with United Rentals Trench Safety, is a dedicated day focused on reinforcing the importance of jobsite safety in trenching and excavation operations. This event brings together contractors, safety professionals, and industry leaders to pause work, share best practices, and elevate awareness around the hazards associated with trenching.

Through hands-on demonstrations, expert-led discussions, and real-world safety insights, attendees will gain practical knowledge on protective systems, soil classification, hazard recognition, and emergency response planning. The Stand Down serves as a powerful reminder that safety is a shared responsibility—and that taking time to focus on it can save lives.
