Any contractor that is required to undertake excavation work in the course of a project should, without question, carry out a thorough survey of the site before commencing any digging, whether by hand or machine. A cable strike can, and often does, cause serious injuries to workers on the site, and these can sometimes be fatal.
Indeed, the HSE gives an example of a company which was fined £210,000 after a worker was killed by an explosion when he and other workers were using breakers and a shovel and struck an 11,000-volt live cable. The HSE stated “The company had not informed workers that there were live cables in the excavation and failed to put adequate measures in place to prevent them being damaged”.

Cable strikes can be fatal for the operatives working at the site, the service users, and the service providers. A little professional CAT training can put an end to all possible hazards. Sygma Solutions has been devoted to providing interested people just that for years. With proper training, we have succeeded in operatives and utility engineers to avoid cable strike risks.

A cable strike is one of those unintentional and unforeseen situations that cause health and safety hazards to the engineers and immense financial loss to the service provider. One of the common causes of a cable strike is the lack of proper site inspection before excavation. Even a slight collision with a spade can electrocute an individual. Sygma Solutions offers training and detailed insight to utility engineers about avoiding such situations while working. Over the years, we have become a trusted name among many.

When you get a utility or contracting job that needs excavation, you must know the safety protocols associated with any underground facility. While doing underground jobs, you always risk striking something in a likely or unlikely space. Therefore, you must include a safe work system when digging. It begins with making a thorough plan, locating and identifying any underground services, and, lastly, incorporating safe digging practices. Therefore, operatives need to undertake a CAT Course along with EUSR HSG47.
