United Rentals, Inc., has highlighted equipment, access control, and job site safety solutions that help contractors protect their crews and worksites. These tools, combined with United Academy training, support safer, more efficient operations across every phase of a project.

Key equipment solutions for safer job sites:

Equipment access management: Ignition keypad locks and RFID readers restrict equipment use to trained operators, improving accountability and reducing risks like rollovers or struck-by incidents. Cloud-based platforms manage operator credentials and access logs.
Temporary fencing and smart turnstiles: Temporary barriers clearly define job site perimeters and keep unauthorized personnel out. Smart turnstiles with badge access further secure entry points and track site access.
Ground protection mats: Access mats stabilize equipment and vehicles on muddy or uneven ground, minimizing tipping hazards, and reducing trip risks caused by ruts.
Job site lighting: Portable LED lights and towable light towers improve visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety and craftsmanship. Storage containers with built-in lighting also improve safety during material retrieval.
Heating and cooling solutions: Portable evaporative coolers and heaters protect workers from extreme temperatures, reducing risks of heat exhaustion or frostbite. Fabric shelters offer climate-controlled break areas on large job sites.
Trench safety systems: Trench shields, shoring, and sloping systems protect against trench collapses, one of construction's most serious hazards. United Rentals provides engineered trench safety solutions compliant with OSHA standards.
Safety training and compliance: Team training and certifications are critical to safety operations. United Rentals offers a robust catalog of in-person, online, and blended learning options through United Academy, helping crews meet regulatory and site-specific safety requirements.
