Frequently Asked Questions
What services require safety measures?
All of our services require safety measures of some degree. Some jobs, such as residential work would generally require less safety precautions than an active construction site however, as professionals, all of our techs have the most stringent safety training for every job site and every situation, not the minimum. Each job is different, and the hazards associated with a GPR Survey in comparison to a concrete scanning concrete inspection are different. The key is to have all of our employees trained to the highest degree of safety, so they are ready for all types of hazards associated with any job site. GPR technology and the other technical equipment we utilize is not inherently dangerous but when we use that equipment at an electrical substation, for example, the risk from the environment and how we apply those tools is much higher. This is what we prepare for in our GPR classes and GPR training workshops: not only do we train in locating methods and effective use of the equipment but also how to safely and properly implement those tools in every environment and at every construction site, road, hospital, substation or manufacturing plant, just to name a few.
How does safety training program affect your customers?
We don’t have students or classrooms; we have real world technicians and training programs that are tailored specifically for actual job site scenarios. This is helpful to remember because we are aware our basic actions at a job site can have a huge impact on the job, not only for ourselves but for all contractors involved. The knowledge and details of our training programs is to enhance the safety and efficiency at every job site and guarantee that both you and your client see that we are the safest most effective company for the job.
What impact on service implementation will safety courses have on my project?
No, GPR does not transmit frequencies powerful enough to be harmful to the operator, anyone nearby or to the environment. GPR does not interfere with even the most sensitive technology or communication systems. We work in electrical substations, data centers, near cell towers, at airports, manufacturing plants and hospitals with no issues.
Why are safety skills required?
It’s important for our techs to have a high skill level and the right knowledge when it comes to safety. Both practical and advanced levels of safety awareness and implementation are expected from everyone. In addition to standard OSHA training and protocols, as well as site specific training there are other safety senses that come from experience. This entails assessing every job site for hazards and discovering what precautions are needed. With this information our techs can devise a plan on how to effectively complete a job without risk of injury to oneself or to others.
