Thank you for your interest. Sigalarm
has compiled a 41 year history of proven customer
satisfaction. We look forward in working together with
you on preventing power line accidents.
OSHA is currently revising the Crane
and Derricks standard 29 CFR Part 1926. This is a
tremendous step in the right direction. As of the June
15th 2004 draft Proximity alarms will be part
of a menu of options recommended by this standard if any
part of a crane can encroach within 20 feet of a high
voltage line, in addition Insulated links along with
other items will be
required if working within
Table A Red zone. The entire updated consensus
regulations will be the most important items affecting
the crane industry in the next few years. Take the
time now to start preparing for the legislation.
The following link will guide you through
the entire process and the official consensus document.

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 a 10 foot
minimum clearance. OSHA has investigated over 1900 power
line accidents between 1984-1997 with these existing
safe guards in place.
Protect yourself. Sigalarm is
a value added device that when used correctly will
help prevent accidents.
Insulated links have also been
proven to be value added features
Employers, 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
Sigalarm has its greatest asset, which is to back up a
trained operator who might not realize how close he or
she has gotten to a power line.
Sigalarm has sold thousands of units
worldwide in numerous Industries and have documented
units in the field well over 20 years. The public
awareness is changing and we expect our product to be
mandated by law one day. Until then consumers (who
believe in safety) must continue to insist on the
installation and use of our proven warning
device.
With your help we can save lives,
property and reduce the chance of costly litigation.
I invite you to join our satisfied customers worldwide,
who have enjoyed the peace of mind, knowing that they
have a Sigalarm Proximity Warning Device installed and
operating.
We are willing to compromise on everything but
Quality, Integrity, and of course Safety.
Cordially,
Lance Burney
CEO
