Safe Practices For Workers in the Water Sector

Effective safety practices for companies in the water utility sector are the building blocks of a successful company. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that most companies have established comprehensive safety policies, procedures, and protocols to protect their people. In this article, we will cover the main safety risks of working in the water industry and some safe practices that will help to mitigate these hazards.  

Mitigating Risks for Lone Workers in Water Utility Companies

Lone worker safety is not limited to jobs on land; managing risks for employees at water companies is increasingly important. Unaccompanied work in water and wastewater industries poses numerous unique risks, from dangerous materials, confrontational customers, and secluded locations. Naturally, the people who are responsible for our water supply are not the first people on our minds when we turn on the shower. Not to mention, most consumer interactions with water companies are with customer service representatives or employees working in an office. But, these workers are just the tip of the ice berg within the organization. At Scatterling, we consider all of your employees.
