Backhoe Operations For Public Works - Backhoes are the workhorse of any construction and maintenance department. They perform a wide variety of tasks, they dig, scrape, compact soil, load material, break pavement, lift and with other specialized attachments, and do almost any required task. Since wheeled backhoes are pretty much the construction and maintenance standard, we will concentrate on the safety considerations for this equipment

Heat Stress Awareness And Prevention - Every year, too many workers are hospitalized or die from heat-related illness. There have been reports of amateur and professional athletes who have died by the effects of heat illness. Employees working in hot environments can also suffer from heat illness.

Meter Reader Safety - Most people don’t realize just how risky meter reading can be, as you are exposed to all kinds of hazards such as slip and trips, traffic, weather, aggressive dogs, venomous animals and insects and of course, the always interesting irate customer!

The most important safety feature is the operator's knowledge of how to use, inspect, and maintain the equipment. Safety around hoisting equipment is extremely important because one little mistake can be disastrous.
