Giving your employees and contractors access to the proper equipment is a crucial component of ensuring the highest safety standards, along with utilising best practices. Prioritising safety will protect workers and site visitors from harm in addition to ensuring compliance.
One such piece of equipment is a CAT and Genny, which are the best utility locating instruments available and could save your employees a great deal of time and effort while also making detection operations safer.
In addition to giving employees the knowledge and abilities to properly recognise and steer clear of subterranean utilities, our CAT and Genny training guarantees that workers are aware of the possible risks involved in excavation operations in these high-risk regions.
Although they are discussed together, a CAT and a Genny are two pieces of equipment that cooperate to fulfil a larger function. CAT is a Cable Avoidance Tool. Together with the CAT, the Genny, or Signal Generator, helps identify and track down subterranean utilities.
When locating assets that have been buried underground, CATs use radio-detecting technology to guarantee the highest level of accuracy.
It can detect the magnetic fields of power sources with the help of this system. This enables a CAT to find a variety of objects, including ones composed of different materials, non-conductive pipelines and metallic conduits. To notify the operator of the existence of the pipe or cable, the Genny sends out a traceable signal.
Due to their extensive use in excavation and construction, CAT and Genny tools are ubiquitous on construction sites worldwide. Experts from a variety of disciplines, such as engineers and utility service providers, call on them.
Naturally, avoiding cables is essential when working on-site, and using CAT and Genny tools guarantees that the risk of cable strikes may be reduced and site safety is maintained. For everyone involved, cable strikes can have disastrous results.
In addition to causing further inconveniences and financial difficulties for nearby households and businesses when local power supplies are impacted, they can result in injuries and even fatalities.
Sygma Solutions Ltd, with over 100 years of combined experience in occupational safety and health, is dedicated to offering hands-on, field-focused CAT and Genny training that guarantees substation workers are adequately equipped to perform excavation and maintenance duties safely.
