Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (MT)

June is Trench Safety Stand Down Month — a time when the utility construction industry unites to emphasize the importance of protecting lives in and around excavations. Join NUCA of Colorado for a special Virtual Safety Roundtable dedicated to advancing trench safety through awareness, action, and accountability.

This month’s roundtable will be led by Perry Silvey, founder of the Trenching and Excavation Safety Taskforce (TEST) — the national committee driving safety innovation, standards, and best practices for the industry. Perry will share insights into how TEST was formed, its mission, and how it's shaping the future of trench safety across the country.

Topics will include:

• Overview of NUCA’s Trench Safety Stand Down (TSSD) initiative

• The formation and goals of the TEST committee

• Common hazards and how to address them in the field

• Tools and resources available to support your team’s safety efforts

• Open Q&A 

Whether you're a safety professional, field supervisor, or company leader, this roundtable will equip you with valuable knowledge and strategies to elevate trench safety at every level of your organization.

Let’s stand down to stand up for safety.
