Improve Employee Productivity with Better Construction Electrical Safety

9/25/2015

Being productive in any work industry usually means that workers have all the tools necessary to get the job done right and in a fair amount of time. We often don't think about things that can greatly decrease productivity, especially when they are not obvious. The fact is, not paying attention to construction electrical safety can impact productivity in a negative way. Here are some tips to help with productivity at the work site.

Make sure there is no standing water

Water around electrical wires or boxes is a huge danger. It is a danger to your budget and most importantly it is dangerous to all employees in the area. Make sure there is no water at all around electrical outlets or this can cause a huge problem with safety or with damaging expensive equipment.

All electrical equipment to be de-energized

Wherever possible try to use non-electrical tools or machines. For example you can use portable tools that are battery charged and also use plastic or wood attachments when possible. Another example is vacuum attachments.

Cover all live powered lines

Another safety tip for better construction electrical safety is to make sure to cover all wires, lines and cables with hot line covers. Also make sure that all electrical outlets are sealed or taped with electrical tape for extra protection. Administering these simple construction safety tips can surely help with productivity and to help decrease risk of a major safety hazard, injury, or even death.

Industrial Protective Cord Covers Keep Your Vehicles Running

Movement is the prime motivator for any project manager. Keeping personnel and vehicles on the move and productive is key to a successful job conclusion. Let's see how industrial protective cord covers solve the problem of keeping vehicles going in safe directions.

Cords, hoses, and cables provide power or air pressure to a specific application on a job. For instance, a gritty residue after a sanding job might need to be blown away via a hose using air pressure. But for sheer danger and need for safety, nothing tops electical cords. Faulty cords that may have suffered damage from routine use or even rough handling can start a fire or cause an explosion to damage a job site or injure personnel. It is imperative to protect cords from everyday wear in excess of normal outdoor usage. Brahman Systems supplies the industry with the optimal all-steel, enclosed cord protection that has been proven to withstand 65 tons without being crushed. In addition, they keep vehicles running because they provide a smooth, nail-free surface for drive overs without the exposed nails or splintered boards of makeshift ramps. Vehicles driving over a Brahman-tough cord cover roll smoothly onward to their next task without delay. Project managers will appreciate the fact that cord covers need only a forklift for setup, and most customers realize a 40 per cent cost savings. This contrasts to other ways of protecting cords, including the nailed-together boards which often disintegrate before the job is done.

Take a moment to consider how easy it is to keep your project's vehicles running by using industrial protective cord covers, and contact Brahman Systems for either rental or purchase. Brahman Systems provides tough protection and eliminates the need for trenching, overhead stringing, or making do with hazardous wooden board constructs. Brahman Systems is the latest word in industry-approved safety.

Ramp-Over Protection for Work Site Cables

Any planner figures in safety when job costing a project. Ramp-over protection guarantees that everyone from project manager to end user wins when costly delays and human injury become a thing of the past. First of all, makeshift ramps constructed of boards nailed together may be constructed swiftly, but they are subject to splitting under heavy drive overs. Any construction site using these unreliable methods risks damaging the electrical cables or pneumatic hoses underneath. Let's see how the best planners solve this problem by using Brahman Systems products.

Construction sites bustle with heavy equipment and workers committed to doing the best job possible. It takes little imagination to envision how a heavy equipment operator on a work deadline would miss a wooden ramp by misjudging his equipment's track width or by underestimating its weight. Likewise, a worker intent on completing a task may trip over exposed cables or hoses. Brahman Systems products guard equipment and workers by providing a sturdy, easy-to-install ramp bridging important cables, wiring, or hoses.

Any project benefits from far-sighted planners, and not only on construction sites. Outdoor venues such as county fairs, home or boat shows, and any other entertainment or display gatherings contain crowds who are intent on looking, but not where they are walking. Indoor shows such as San Diego's Comic-Con also need to protect attendees and sellers from exposed extension cords on a flat convention floor that often changes attractions. Brahman Systems ramp-over protection is the way for effective planners to guarantee successful crowd and project control.

Heavy-Duty Cord Protection Becomes Industrial Necessity

Among industrial project managers, horror stories abound of losses both in personnel and money from poorly-protected heavy-duty cords. The industry recognizes that electrical cords provide the backbone to on-site powered equipment, but sometimes lack of foresight makes for an unsafe working environment. The risk of injury, costly delays, or even fire is too great to even consider not using heavy-duty cord protection. Tripping, tangling, and extensive cord damage are only a few of the problems involved in using these vital parts of a project. Let's see how to safeguard them.

Stiff, thick, and unwieldy heavy-duty cords propel many industries from job beginnings to productive conclusion. In the construction of a home or office building, cords provide power to enable lighter-weight equipment usage that is opposed to a heavier bit of machinery that contains an engine. Lightweight equipment means faster and more mobile workers who complete their tasks with the least strain possible. Cord protection means that workers avoid injury and promote job satisfaction.

From the construction job site to an indoor entertainment venue takes a little imagination, but let's consider that electricity propels the most prevalent means of both industrial construction and providing entertainment or new product displays. For instance, a state-of-the-art 3D product display runs on electricity and may need to work in a convention floor filled with onlookers who are casually strolling about. The convention industry thrives on channeling enthusiastic crowds into safely controlled walkways, and by using Brahman Systems products, the savvy industrial planner ensures heavy-duty cord protection.
