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
CEO
