An Unprotected Trench
Can Be An Early Grave
Trench Safety Stand Down Week | June 15–19, 2020
Make plans for your company to participate in this year’s
NUCA Trench Safety Stand Down Week. Being a part of our
popular 5th annual TSSD Week will help educate your
employees on trenching hazards at the jobsite.
Also sponsored by NUCA’s Safety Ambassadors Club
OSHA’s National Emphasis Program on Trenching and Excavation
is a high agency priority. NUCA and OSHA have teamed up
again this year for our annual trench safety program. Almost
48,000 industry and NUCA member company employees
participated in last year’s TSSD.
Every company or organization that holds a TSSD will receive
a certificate of participation, as well as hard-hat stickers for
every employee who participated. Recognition will also be
given in NUCA publications.
