How A Stabilizer Bar Can Be Used on Any Manhole Shaft
4/2015
The job of a utility worker is important and something that every citizen relies on, whether they know it or not. Utility workers keep cities running as they should so that citizens can get their utility services, such as water, as soon as they turn the faucet on. They also ensure that businesses get things like heat and water so that they can serve customers. A city would literally come to a grinding halt if utility workers stopped performing their jobs. But, to keep these utilities like gas and water working they must be regularly serviced. There is not one location in which utility workers can access all that they need to in order to keep a city's gas and water running properly so they must visit multiple locations. Climbing down into manhole shafts can be treacherous so it is important to keep workers as safe as possible and this can be done using a stabilizer bar.
While many people have probably never climbed down a manhole shaft, anyone that has knows that it is not always an easy task. Manhole shafts are dark, damp, slippery and downright treacherous at times. But, nevertheless, utility workers must get the job done despite the conditions. No company wants to endanger their workers and risk injury or possible liability. With SW Services' stabilizer bar, utility workers can perform their jobs without the worry and risk of injury and companies can rest assured that they are properly protecting their employees. With the stabilizer bar, utility workers can operate from street level large water valves that have been housed in manhole shafts. Because there cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach to sizing a manhole shaft, stabilizer bars are adjustable and can be ordered in a variety of sizes so that they can fit valve extension key shafts. Additionally, there is no need to worry about the stabilizer bar's ability to perform its job because it is made of galvanized steel, capable of holding weight while utility workers do their job. And, the stabilizer bar will not be an inconvenience to workers trying to get their jobs done quickly because it is set up with a standard crescent wrench and is easily installed in only a few minutes. All utility workers should have stabilizer bars to work with when they are on the job so that not only is it easier to perform their tasks but it is more safe - which is a benefit to both employees and employers.
