Answer: Safety is paramount in all electrical construction. Adhering to strict safety protocols is non-negotiable. Key safety measures include:

1. Planning and Risk Assessment: A detailed site survey and risk assessment must be completed before any work begins to identify potential hazards, such as existing utilities, unstable ground, or confined spaces.

2. Cable Detection: Always assume underground cables are present. Use a cable avoidance tool (CAT) and consult utility maps to accurately locate and mark all services before excavation.

3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Workers must be equipped with appropriate PPE, including insulated gloves and boots, hard hats, and high-visibility clothing.

4. Safe Digging Practices: Hand digging with insulated tools is required near known cable routes. Mechanical excavators should maintain a safe clearance distance. Once cables are exposed, they must be treated as live until proven otherwise and properly supported.

Our company provides not only the necessary machinery for these tasks but also a range of tools and accessories that help ensure a safe working environment, from ground mats to cable handling and support systems.
