The United Rentals Trench Safety team explores the applications and technical breakdown of United Rentals’ line of hydraulic waling and propping solutions. Along with Engineering design aspects, we also explore economic impacts as well as productivity and efficiency implications to projects utilizing these types of shoring support.

United Rentals' Trench Safety group presents an overview of manufacturer’s tabulated data highlighting important elements and providing tips for working within tab data requirements and recommendations for what to do when conditions change.

United Rentals shares its knowledge on the newest confined space standard, with added information on how power, electrical and telecommunication workers should test and then manage hazards found in confined or enclosed spaces. While construction, power and telecom do have unique OSHA rules, this session will help you understand what will cause a normally harmless space to be potentially considered as a permit-required confined space.

This webinar discusses ways to increase productivity in underground storage tank shoring applications including shoring types and differences, geotechnical considerations, installation procedures, and the economics of shored versus open-cut installations.

United Rentals can provide solutions for any trench or excavation project, from training to equipment and everything in between. View the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbTkVuLvOMk&t=4s

Originally presented on May 28th, 2020. Moderator: Eileen Betit, CPWR’s Research to Practice (r2p) Director Presenters: Scott Ketcham, Director, OSHA Directorate of Construction Joe Wise, Regional Customer Training Manager at United Rentals Trench Safety Dr. Alan Echt, Sr. Industrial Hygienist, NIOSH Office of Construction Safety and Health Trench incidents and fatalities have increased over the past several years – so much so that OSHA, intent on reversing this trend, updated its National Emphasis Program on Trenching and Excavation in October 2018. Learn about a collaborative effort to increase awareness of the factors that may contribute to trenching incidents and ways to mitigate the risks. You will have the option of submitting questions for the panelists in advance. Edit: In the slope example provided during the second presentation, we mistakenly stated that that the slope would be 13 feet based on a bottom width measurement of 5 feet. To be more accurate, the bottom width measurement in this example should have been 3 feet.
