The Stabilizer Bar is Easy to Use
The Stabilizer Bar is Easy to Use
There are many products designed to make everyday tasks easier or more efficient. They are designed to simply everything from home tasks to workplace tasks and more. Often, these tools designed to "simplify" things are actually complicated and frustrating to use so you have to wonder if it is really worth it. At SW Services, we have designed and manufactured the Stabilizer Bar for utility workers and it not only improves efficiency and safety but it is actually very easy to use, making it the ideal product for anyone in any location.
The Stabilizer Bar is a patented product that allows utility workers to safely operate from street level large water valves housed in access manholes. It is constructed of galvanized steel which is incredibly durable and strong, and it is easily adjusted to fit into most manhole shafts. Utility workers have to visit a lot of manhole shafts for their routine service or maintenance so improving efficiency and safety is a significant benefit. At first glance, you may think, having to install a stabilizer bar at each manhole will just add time to the length of maintenance or waste time in some way but, in fact, it will save time. Manholes are often dark, damp, slippery and dangerous. Because they are a precarious work environment, utility workers have to move slowly to get their job done without injury but by using a stabilizer bar they can work quickly, efficiently and safely from street level. Set-up simply requires a standard crescent wrench and only a few minutes. The Stabilizer Bar can be ordered in several diameters to fit valve extension key shafts so they can be used in any city or municipality.
As previously mentioned, the stabilizer bar is not only easy to install but it actually improves safety. This is an important thing for businesses such as utility companies because it allows them to remain OSHA compliant by providing their employees a more safe work environment. This reduces liability and gives workers the peace of mind that they are safe while they complete their job requirements. Making an investment in stabilizer bars can actually save you money in the long run by reducing high insurance premiums, reducing injuries/workers compensation payments, and improving efficiency so that more can be accomplished in a day than without stabilizer bars. A stabilizer bar is a low cost investment that is easy to implement in any jurisdiction and the benefits of use will be realized immediately.
