Construction Safety Equipment is a Serious Issue

3/27/2015

Safety is always the #1 concern for any construction site manager. That is why there are regulations and rules regarding the practices, wages and working hours of all construction workers. While these institutions are critical to protecting worker’s quality of life, managers should be thorough in their research regarding construction safety equipment. It is not just about having the equipment there, it is about finding out what is the best kind of equipment for your site and its employees.

For example, electrocution and power tool accidents are one of the leading causes of accidental injury for construction workers. Whether it be from “body contact with power cables, cable strikes on underground utilities, or defective of ground-fault protection” not having the proper cable protection can be extremely dangerous and can lead to some nasty consequences. In fact, one of the Top Ten Reasons why agencies are frequently cited by OSHA is because of electrical issues stemming from “wiring methods, design and protection.”

Just think of how many injuries, deaths and fines could have been avoided if more site managers were firm in their dedication to providing quality electrical and hose protection. We at Brahman Systems have seen the terrible results that come from making poor equipment decisions and that is why we wanted to create a product that would fill a much needed space. What the market is lacking for protective needs, Brahman Systems is filling with our patented designs and superior materials. Why should working in construction mean that you aren’t afforded the same safety regulations that other workplaces are?

Because cable and hose are such a small part of the site, we find that managers are not as concerned with construction safety equipment for such a small piece. They often don’t think of them until it is too late. But with Brahman by your side, you could have the new industry standard for protection. Our cable and hose protectors are constructed using only steel that has been tested to 125,000 pounds. That is 65 tons! They can handle your largest projects or the heaviest loads.

Ditch the Wire Trencher, Get Help from Brahman Systems

3/20/2015

Performing construction in the middle of a city is not easy. Not only are there zoning and building permits to work out but the amount of traffic in a given area can affect the time of a project’s completion date and the quality of the job performed. Not to mention the many safety hazards that affect both commuter and laborer when there are certain parts of the construction process that are not maintained properly.

One of the most dangerous things we come across for those building projects inside city limits is that instead of providing adequate protection for key parts of their site, they cut corners and choose to put people, vehicles and equipment at risk. You see a lot of it in this industry, but it is that mentality can cost you thousands in repairs, extra weeks of work, and injuries for both workers and civilians. We at Brahman Systems knew there had to be a better way to provide real protection to the cables and hoses on construction sites and still make it an affordable investment for the company. And that is how Brahman Boards came to life.

On so many worksites, there is someone assigned to be the wire trencher or they use a machine to make deep trenches in the ground so that cables and hoses can lie within them. The wire trencher method may be the most budget-friendly but it is hardly the safest and in the long run….not very cost effective at all! 

When you trench cables and hoses during city construction, vehicles that have to go over those trenches don’t actually avoid the cables, and if they do, the damage to their individual vehicles is still be noticeable. And while the trench might be deep enough to avoid contact from the average commuter vehicle, it is rarely deep enough to avoid industrial vehicles like dump trucks, steam rollers, bulldozers and heavy duty work trucks. Either way, you could damaging cars suspensions and tires along with damaging your own essential equipment. At Brahman, we call that a lose-lose situation. 

Avoid the hassle of trenching hoses and cables and get the superior quality and patented design of Brahman System’s cable and hose protectors. Our cable and hose ramps are designed completely with steel and have been tested over and over again to withstand up to 65 tons! The best part is that our clients have noticed over 40% savings with our brand of protection as opposed to the other, supposedly “cheaper” methods. Not only are they better made and more affordable, there is almost no maintenance needed! Thats right, you use a forklift to put them into place, and that is it! Low maintenance, affordable and the strongest cable and hose protection in the industry, what more could you need?

Road Safety Systems that Need Improvement

Road safety is always an important issue to tackle. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, there were 32,719 fatalities in motor vehicle accidents in 2013 alone with another 2.3 million injuries. The road is a dangerous place and it is the responsibility of the driver and road safety systems managers to keep everyone safe. At Brahman Systems, our goal is to create the strongest equipment so that our customers can perform and work safely.

The biggest holes in road safety systems are found in construction, infrastructure maintenance and of course, the biggest holes can sometimes be the potholes.

Road construction can have a lot of advantages….once it is finished. However, in the meantime, road construction means more traffic, detours and having to maneuver around crews and equipment. This is where it can get dangerous for some commuters. During construction, digging underground and excavating old roadways requires the use of a lot of heavy duty vehicles and tools. That means lots of debris and potentially harmful situations for both drivers and construction workers. If hoses are being used to move or repair water mains, but they aren’t being properly protected, water can begin leaking and causing roads to become slick or they can burst from heavy traffic constantly moving over them.

Infrastructure has been a big discussion topic in 2015 as there is more and more noticeable failings and repairs needed to the nation’s highways, bridges, dams and roadways. These structures are central to how the US moves, transports and does business, so when they begin failing, it can spell disaster. The main reason why most necessary maintenance doesn’t happen? Funding. That is why Brahman is dedicated to bringing down the costs of your job site by offering high quality materials that will cut your production costs by almost 40%!

Road safety systems are necessary to keeping the flow of commuters and civil engineers and Brahman Systems has the products that can help keep people safe and production moving steadily. Don’t take a chance receiving a fine from OSHA, having an employee hurt or damaging your equipment, instead opt for the advanced protection of Brahman’s cable and hose protectors. Made with steel and tested to 65 tons, our patented design is the clear winner against our competitors.

Parking lots can be hectic places. There are people coming and going, garbage dumpsters, loading zones and other factors that can spell trouble for any wiring you have going through the lot. And when we say parking lots we don’t just mean commercial parking, that includes industrial parking zones, stadium and arena parking centers, even shopping centers. If you are wiring any equipment, tools, lighting or other kind of electronic needs and not using an advanced form of cable wire covers, you could be costing your company and equipment a lot in terms of damage and repair needs.

You see whenever you have wiring running through a parking or loading area, it gets exposure to lots of different kinds of vehicles all day long. There are commercial cars, heavy duty trucks, dump trucks, not to mention things like bulldozers and crane lifts if you are building or redoing a parking lot.  You often see wiring covered with plastic wire wraps or even worse, electric tape, but that does nothing to help protect your wires! Over time, wiring becomes torn and frayed

Instead try out the superior protection of Brahman Systems for your parking lot cable wire covers. Our cable protectors are made with steel instead of the usual aluminum, plastic or rubber that we see with our competitors. They are so strong that the design has been patented for its materials and strength. Brahman cable protectors are tested to 125,000 pounds, that 65 tons, over and over again so you can be sure that we can handle your heaviest loads and vehicles. All you have to do is put them in place….and that is it! No maintenance, repairs or frustrating installation processes!

Find out how affordable Brahman Systems cable protection can be for your company! Call our offices at 225-637-3700 or fill out our no-obligation Quote Request Form for more information.
