Trench Safety Stand Down
June 15-19, 2026, is Trench Safety Stand Down week! Participation is open to all, members and non-members alike. There is no cost for this event. We encourage utility construction, residential construction, highway construction, plumbers, the military, unions, associations, educational institutions, and safety equipment manufacturers to participate.
📅 How to Participate:
Holding a Stand Down is simple. Take 15–20 minutes this week to:
1. Gather those working in and around trenches on your job site.
2. Talk about the specific hazards of your current project.
3. Review your protective systems and emergency procedures.
By taking a few minutes to talk about safety today, you can protect your workers and reduce the risks on your site. Let’s work together to bring those injury numbers down to zero! More information can be found here: https://nuca.com/events/tssd/
