In Great Britain, more than 60,000 cable strikes are reported whilst performing excavation work. These accidents are devastating for workers, the community, and businesses. This makes cable avoidance essential, and workers must have the proper training to excavate safely.
There are so many risks of cable strikes. But with the proper training and equipment, it is possible to avoid such problems. Here are some reasons why it is essential to get proper cable avoidance training from reputed centres, such as Sygma Solutions Ltd.
Worker safety is one of the primary reasons for receiving proper cable avoidance training. There are reports stating that more than 300 injuries are caused due to pipe or cable strikes, many of which are fatal.
Workers expose themselves to dangers when they use digging machinery around live cables. The only way to avoid accidents is by performing a thorough cable search and then proceeding with the process.
The financial impact of cable strikes is massive on businesses and the surrounding areas. Sometimes, local power supplies are affected due to the pipe or cable strike. It may cause significant issues for businesses and homes. Also, this delays the project because time must be allotted separately for repair work.
Therefore, cable strikes result in financial losses and the construction company’s reputation is impacted.
To ensure the potential risks are reduced, the workers must have proper cable avoidance training.They must know the different cable avoidance tools and how to use them.
Before starting any excavation project, workers must be trained to use CAT &Genny. These tools are designed to detect signals that are emitted from cables. However, these tools have their limitations, and workers must be aware of them.
CAT training courses inform the delegates of the limitations of the cable avoidance tools and teach them their practical applications.
It is necessary to complete a cable avoidance training course to remain compliant, perform tasks safely and ensure the safety of the workers and the people in the neighbourhood. Sygma Solutions Ltd. offers multiple course options depending on your job role and preferences. You must not avoid this training course, or the lives of many will be at stake.
