The sideboom/pipeline industry has had it’s fair share of “incidences” regarding power-line strikes and such. As wired or wireless system will provide your project with piece of mind in terms of operator and equipment safety that you simply can’t get anywhere else.
Knowing is half the battle to reducing Insurance Costs
Having the Right Training for your employees and staff is the key to reducing accidents, but did you know that there are also vital pieces of equipment that your staff can use to reduce occurrences from happening also. HIGH-VOLTAGE/POWER LINE WARNING SYSTEMS can Save Lives. They are used to prevent equipment from Contacting Overhead Power Lines. By using this WARNING SYSTEM, it is going to help to reduce occurrences from happening and, in turn, reduce your Insurance Premiums from increasing due to potential personal injury to your employees, damage to third parties property or injury to them as a result of the accident. TAKE THE STEPS NOW TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE! NOW THAT YOU KNOW! For more information
Another Worker Killed By High Voltage Powerline Contact
Saddened, Upset, Dismay, Confusion – this is something I can comprehend, but why should the family of this person have to whenever they think of how this could have happened when there are systems in place to prevent this? Worker Dies In Contact With Powerline Everytime I hear this news I often think, “what if I had been able to contact this company BEFORE this accident happened?” But I also know, many companies do not believe that their employees are in any real danger during the day to day operations, and yet when this happens I shake my head and say it could have been prevented, but the cost of the device was just too high for their purchasing department.
Electricity and Cranes – Guess Who Wins?
This is an older post, but needless to say, the same thing continues to happen needlessly. The system asks “why” or “how” but as usual, until someone dies, no one wants to talk about “how do we prevent this?” A 7.5 Kv powerline (service line) was contacted, it was a tight lift to begin with regardless but it may be an alternative piece of equipment may have been selected instead of this crane. The Effer crane had a jib on it, and looking at how it had to navigate those lines, as an operator, my choice (yes it’s also easy to say afterwards), that I would not have made this lift, but again, those choices are often ignored for the
Where’s The Line – Does This Really Work?
We’ve been HUGE advocates of line safety, we are a dealer for the SigAlarm High Voltage proximity alert systems not simply because we wanted a product line, but simply because more people need to stay away from over head power lines. I know that is the obvious statement, however it’s not that obvious. We see the messages, the advertisements of “where’s the line”, the meaning is good, the delivery…not so much so it seems. One recent training we did, one of the students brought up a very valid point, “we are bombarded with safety stuff all day, we become desensitised to the posters” even tho they have a very strong safety culture. Far too many people’s lives are forever altered
High Voltage Power Line Accidents
They can be prevented and we have the solution. Yes it is that easy. The SigAlarm High Voltage proximity alert system, now with a wireless model, can alert the operator of cranes, excavators, hydro-vacs, side booms, etc, they are too close to the power lines.
