How Cat and Genny Training Enhances Site Safety

Working on an excavation or construction site comes with inherent risks, especially when dealing with powerful generators and underground utilities. These dangers can be mitigated with CAT and Genny training from Sygma Solutions Ltd. CAT stands for cable avoidance tool, and Genne is a signal generator. Gaining knowledge about CAT and Genny is essential because of the following reasons:

Preventing the unforeseen – Both CAT and Genny training share a common goal and that is preventing accidents. CAT training equips workers to locate buried utilities and avoid them, whilst Genny training focuses on understanding the signal emitted by the tool that will make it easier for the cable avoidance tools to detect buried utilities.
Avoidance of cable chaos – Accidental damage to buried utilities during construction or excavation can have devastating consequences. This is where CAT training comes in handy. It teaches you the correct use of cable locators so you can pinpoint the precise location of the buried cables and pipes. This prevents cable strikes and reduces project delays. When Genny is used with cable avoidance tools, it doubles the effort of locating underground utilities.
Building a culture of safety – Workers trained in the use of CAT tools and Genny create a safe work environment. They ensure that the possibility of cable strikes is reduced and potential hazards are addressed and identified before they can escalate. This not only safeguards the lives of the workers on the site but also minimises damage to public property and life.

Conclusion: Invest in a Safer Tomorrow!

CAT and Genny training must be a priority for companies and everyone involved in excavating, construction or even landscaping activities. Through this training, construction companies can enhance safety on their sites and ensure that workers are protected against unforeseen situations arising from damage to underground utilities. Furthermore, this promotes efficiency and the completion of the project within the deadline.
