Safety Tips
- Call all utility companies at least two business days prior to beginning any work that includes excavation. This will prevent any underground wires and lines from damage.
- If you are working around power poles and power lines, notify the electrical company. Even if you call ahead, always assume the lines are live and take the necessary precautions to prevent striking, touching, or damaging the lines.
-
Schedule brief meetings with your employees, construction workers, and equipment operators each day before work begins to advise on safety precautions and regulations. The more everyone hears it, the less likely accidents will happen.
- Use signs at the construction site to warn and remind passers and construction workers of the dangers on the site such as power line locations, hard hat areas, etc.
