Fun 4th of July Facts

Fun 4th of July Facts As we just got done celebrating the 4th of July, for many, the 4th of July is an excuse to relax in the sun, toss back a few drinks, and watch fireworks with their family and friends. However, the history of Independence Day is much richer and more exciting than one might believe. Here are 15 fun facts about the U.S. birthday that might be a surprise. 1.     We Didn't Actually Declare Independence on the 4th of July One of the greatest misconceptions of the 4th of July lies in the name and date.

Electrical Hazards

Electrical Hazards Pose Serious Workplace Safety Risks On A Construction Site & In Neighborhoods   Power lines are a hazard everywhere we work. Be aware of overhead power lines and underground power. Buried power lines in conduit can be crushed by outriggers and electrify the area around the crush. Look for line markings and ground mounted transformers around your work area. When working near overhead lines, confirm the voltage and maintain the proper distance. FPL Power Line Voltages                  OSHA Minimum Approach Distance* (OSHA 1926.1408 Table A) 0 to 50kV 10 feet Over 50kV to 200kV 15 feet Over 200kV to 350kV 20 feet Over 350kV to 500kV 25 feet Over 500kV to 750kV 35 feet *Minimum distance for [...]

Field Uniform Ordering Happening Soon To ensure that our in-field employees are job-site compliant, Smiley has developed a Uniform Plan for employees that work in the field.

This cycle will continue each January and July to ensure that our job-site facing employees look sharp, meet job-site safety requirements, and proudly represent Smiley Lifting Solutions. Ordering details will be announced in the near future. Since we are approaching our in-field uniform ordering time frame, we are working to offer additional options. This session, we are considering offering a third brand of pants in addition to our Carhartt and Duluth Trading Company bands.

Proper Site Set-up & Ground Conditions

Proper Site Set-up & Ground Conditions Lately we have had a few property damage incident with sidewalks, drive ways and asphalt surfaces. These incidents are expensive and time consuming. When ever possible place outriggers on gravel areas, compacted dirt or confirmed structurally sound areas. Driveways and sidewalks are not structurally sound surfaces. Standard concrete is a 3,000 psi mix that is usually only 3 inches thick. This is typically not a sufficient surface to support an outrigger under maximum load. Distributing the outrigger load by using pads can help. But wood and plastic pads are not load distributing surfaces. They are only shock absorbing surfaces. Steel pads are the only load distribution surface we have. Take a look at the charts below to assist you in determining [...]
