When underground utilities are accidentally disturbed or damaged during excavation or construction, cable strikes are the resultant threat. According to the ENA, 354 workers suffered life-changing injuries due to cable strikes between 2015 and 2020. The report also stated that construction workers are at the most risk of damaging cables because nearly a third fail to conduct proper checks before starting a project. Moreover, the report highlights that there are an estimated 4.7 million excavations in the UK each year, with 60,000 resulting in utility strikes.
