Safety

United Rentals consistently delivers industry-leading safety results as part of our unwavering commitment to achieving zero injuries. Our “safety first and always” ethos is a defining strength.

Through a comprehensive safety strategy that spans every branch and worksite, we ensure workers are properly trained and proactive measures are in place to address potential risks. This gives our customers confidence that our teams remain safety-focused while supporting their projects.

We manage health and safety through an integrated occupational health and safety (OHS) program, supported by regular training, protocols, and guidelines designed to meet evolving customer and employee needs.

Our commitment to safety extends to mental health and well-being. United Rentals aims to increase awareness of psychological safety in the workplace, outline a clear approach to managing psychosocial hazards, and promote well-being for all employees.

We have developed a 2025-27 Mental Health Strategy to create a supportive and inclusive workplace where every individual feels empowered to prioritise their mental wellbeing and thrive in an environment that fosters resilience.

We also take part in annual global and local awareness events - such as R U OK? Day, World Mental Health Day and International Women’s Day - to create a safe and positive culture for employees and contractors. When people feel valued and supported, they are able to thrive both at work and alongside their colleagues.
