  2. 08442412597 enquiries@sygma-solutions.com ❏ Understanding Underground Services There are several underground services available. Unless otherwise demonstrated, assume they are there and keep in mind that they might not always follow a straight path. Pipes, cables, and other equipment related to gas, electricity, water (including piped sewage), and telecommunications are examples of underground services. They can also incorporate additional pipes that move different petrochemicals and other fluids. Cable avoidance training has become crucial while working in such places.

  3. 08442412597 enquiries@sygma-solutions.com ❏ Common Causes of Accidents The explosive consequences of arcing current and any accompanying fire or flames that may arise when a live cable is punctured by a sharp item, such as the tip of a tool or piece of machinery, are typically responsible for injuries. Similar outcomes may also happen if a cable is crushed to the point that internal contact forms between the conductors or between a conductor and a metallic sheath. Electric shock is conceivable but less frequent; most injuries are severe burns to the hands, face, and torso, possibly lethal. Incidents can also result from deteriorating with age or from cables, connectors, and terminations that have been broken but not reported or fixed. Broken live electrical wires might also pose a risk to other services in the vicinity, including plastic gas pipelines. This could lead to more fire hazards and explosions.
