Program description:
Our familiarity with water well drilling work sites may sometimes make us complacent about the potential hazards in that working environment. Drilling sites typically expose workers to an assortment of potential dangers, including slippery and uneven working surfaces; heavy equipment and machinery that is constantly operating to move heavy loads; inclement weather and (sometimes) long work hours; confined spaces between closely-positioned vehicles or within sound barriers. This workshop will provide pragmatic, real-world examples of the potential risks at drilling sites, and sound recommendations for a safe workplace.
