JCR is committed to a safe environment for its employees, customers and the general public.
For directional drilling contractors, safety is paramount on the job site. It’s not only about keeping our workers protected from potential hazards, but also about effectively completing a job.
From marking in white paint the anticipated area for entry and exit pits and the drill’s bore path for clear awareness to surveying the area for any evidence of underground utilities that may have been missed, JCR Underground is committed to managing a safe work environment.
Personal protective equipment requirements important for directional drill workers include:
- Safety glasses
- Hard hats, if there are overhead hazards or the job site requires it
- Insulated boots for the tracker and drill operator
- Electrically insulated gloves within reach of the drill operator
- High-visibility vests, if working around traffic or near a roadway, or if the job site requires it
- Hearing protection, dependent on the noise level of the equipment or in the area
All personal protective equipment is inspected regularly to ensure it is in good condition and safe to use. Any damaged equipment is replaced immediately.
Particular consideration is given to any traffic or pedestrian control measures that may be needed to ensure a safe work site for digging.
In addition to stringent internal safety policies and procedures, our staff undergoes extensive training and regular testing to ensure the highest attention to detail are maintained at all times regardless of project size and location.
