Septic Services Provided Safely in Winter Conditions

/in Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, rhode island, safety, safety meeting, Septic Preservation Services, septic services, winter /by

Septic Preservation Services considers the safety of its technicians and customers to be of the utmost importance when we are carrying out septic services. This is why we hold regular safety meetings which always include a different safety topic that is relevant to the time of year or concerns that have been raised. This time we covered cold related safety precautions including risk factors, prevention measures and symptoms. OSHA states “Cold weather and increased wind speed (wind chill) cause heat to leave the body more quickly putting works at risk of cold stress. Anyone working in the cold may be at risk”. Clearly our technicians who are out in the weather providing septic services to our customers throughout the winter months in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine need to be aware of the symptoms of cold stress and how to take precautions to avoid them. Septic Preservation Services’ technicians work in most weather conditions so we want to know that we have done all that we can to ensure their safety and that of their customers. If you have any questions about the septic services that we provide please do contact our office on 877-378-4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Preservation Services have the equipment and training to safely carry out all of your septic installation and septic repair requirements no matter what tools are needed for the job. For example we covered covered cut off saw safety and chain saw safety in one of our recent safety meetings. These are two tools that you would not perhaps immediately associate with septic work but we do use them and therefore we take seriously the safety of our technicians and customers when they are being operated. Whether our technicians are out in the field using heavy excavators for the excavation work required for a large septic installation or in the office writing reports or producing septic designs we want our staff and customers to be safe. Today we have a septic installation starting in Sharon and initially our technicians will need to use the chainsaw to clear undergrowth back. If you require a septic installation, septic design, septic repair or any other septic work or if you have any questions about septic systems please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Preservation Services has extensive experience working with septic systems and can use this experience to locate the source of your septic problem and fix it. When we are called out to your property for a septic repair we will assess the condition of your septic system and will then present you with a range of options designed to correct any identified issues. Sometimes a septic repair will require that we use specialised equipment or enter a confined space to repair your system. We ensure that technicians who are required to do this have the specific confined space training. To ensure that our technicians are safe at least two trained employees must be present to enter a confined space, air sampling is conducted and documented and specific equipment including a tripod, harness and retrieval line are used. This way we can ensure that your septic system is repaired in the most efficient and safe way possible. Today we have septic repairs scheduled in Uxbridge, Bellingham, Blackstone, Wrentham, Franklin, Millis and Holliston MA. If you require a septic repair or if you have any questions about septic systems please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com

Our Monthly Safety Meeting Ensures That In Our Busiest Season Safety Is Not Compromised

/in Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, norton, safety, safety meeting, septic repairs, septic services /by

Septic Preservation Services takes the safety of its employees and customers extremely seriously. Our May monthly safety meeting was designed to prepare our workforce for the coming busy season and to review common hazardous exposures, discuss safety controls and review dig-safe importance. We had employees attend the safety meeting in person and remotely from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maine. Traditionally we are always busier in the months from Spring – Fall with septic service contracts, septic repairs resulting from those services, work delayed due to weather, increased real estate movement and with the usual new customers and referrals. However this increased workload should not mean that safety is at all compromised and our monthly meetings are there to ensure that does not happen. The meeting specifically addressed topics including driving safety, infectious disease controls, ergonomics, preventing falls and confined space entry controls. We have an excellent reputation in New England and want to maintain that by ensuring that our staff receive the best possible training. If you have questions about septic systems or wish to make an appointment please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com

Monthly Safety Meeting In Our Norton Office

/in Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, norton, rhode island, safety, safety meeting /by

Septic Preservation Services had its monthly safety meeting today at its Norton Office with technicians attending from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine. The safety of our staff and customers is of utmost importance and we make sure that we stay ahead of safety training and developments in the industry. For example the meeting covered the Norton Facility Safety Inspection that was carried out last month and established that all Fire Extinguishers were serviced including truck units. We have 4 technicians attending an Excavation Safety Session next month and, like every month, there were a safety topic addressed in the meeting. This month our topic was Ladder Safety which included the selection, Inspection and safe use of ladders. There was also training on Trailer Safety which included securing Loads and Visual Inspection. Our aim at Septic Preservation Services is to ensure that all of our technicians, office staff and customers are safe and that we have the knowledge and equipment to ensure it. Working with septic systems is a specialized task and we would never recommend that anyone without the proper training should try to fix, pump, install or inspect their septic system.
