Safety is paramount. Key considerations include:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Ensuring all personnel wear appropriate gear, including safety helmets, insulated gloves, and shock-proof boots.

• Equipment Safety: Using only insulated and tested tools and ensuring all machinery, such as winches, has safety features like breakaway links or tension monitors.

• Site Management: Following strict procedures for excavation near existing utilities, implementing Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, and using warning signs and barriers to protect workers and the public.
