June is Trench Safety Month - Reinforce Your Commitment to Trench Safety!

June is Trench Safety Month

Every year, lives are lost in preventable trench collapses. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car — and a collapse can happen in seconds.

Let’s commit to protecting workers by following proper safety procedures:

✅ Never enter an unprotected trench.

✅ Always use protective systems like shoring, shielding, or sloping.

✅ Inspect trenches daily and after weather events.

✅ Ensure a competent person is on-site.

Safety isn’t optional — it’s a responsibility.
