          We are in the business of saving lives

 

Dear Customers:

Thank you for your commitment to safety.  Sigalarm has compiled a 41 year history of proven customer satisfaction.  We look forward to working together with you in reducing unnecessary power line contacts.    

There is no excuse; power line contact is a known problem.  The loss of life and property is enormous.  Existing safeguards are just not enough.  i.e. De-energizing lines, insulated barriers, spotter’s, warning labels, and maintaining minimum clearance distances. OSHA has investigated hundreds of power line accidents with these existing safe guards in place.  

Employer’s, Employee’s and Manufactures fall under different legalities.  Manufacturers contend that they build safe products and therefore responsibility should be placed somewhere else. i.e. the employee or employer who must recognize the danger and/or provide adequate protection. However, few people realize that humans have been proven to have difficulty correctly judging the depth perception between power lines and booms or mast. This is where the Sigalarm proximity alarm provides the added protection, which is to electronically back up a trained operator who might not realize how close he or she has gotten to a power line.  Thousands of units have been sold worldwide in numerous Industries and we have documented units in the field well over 20 years. 

With your help we can save lives, property and reduce the chance of costly litigation.  I thank you for joining our satisfied customers around the world, who have enjoyed the peace of mind, knowing that they have a Sigalarm Proximity Alarm installed and operating.

On 10-09-08 OSHA published the revised Crane and Derricks Standard 29 CFR Part 1926 in the federal registry. Proximity alarms and Insulated links will be part of a menu of options recommended if any part of a crane can encroach within 20 feet of a high voltage line.  Both of which offer unique operational benefits and are priced to be economically advantageous.

 Insulated links will be required if working within Table A Red Zone.

 We are willing to compromise on everything but Quality, Integrity, and of course Safety.

 Cordially, 

 

Lance Burney
