Trenchless Sewer Line Repair vs Traditional Repair Methods

Workers’ compensation is an insurance system that provides employees with medical and financial assistance after sustaining an injury in the workplace. That insurance is granted in exchange for the waving of the employee’s right to bring a lawsuit against their employer for negligence. The establishment of workers’ compensation was a two-pronged effort to protect both employees and their employers; employees can get financial and medical help when needed,and employers are protected against high-damage claims that could hurt them financially. That being said,WCBs are also known to make employees jump through a lot of hoops to receive their benefits and can even flat-out deny a claim that is just. For those individuals who are denied their benefits,it is difficult to know what to do after a work comp denial.

Why You Could be Denied

If your workers’ compensation claim is denied,it could be for several reasons. The more severe your injury,the more it will cost the WCB so the more thorough they will be in examining your case. If your employer questions whether or not you sustained the injury at work,that is a huge complication. If there is the suggestion that you have a pre-existing condition that could have contributed to your injury,that will also hurt your claim.

How a Lawyer can Help

A- can help with complex workers’ comp claims by preparing their clients for the questions that will be coming their way and by appealing a denial. Most often,employees will have to undergo an independent medical exam to assess their medical condition,their ability to continue work,and whether or not a pre-existing condition could have contributed to it. Your- will prep you for this exam as,often,these doctors are selected by the WCB and paid by the WCB,so they are not 100-percent unbiased and independent.

Security is one area that all firms have to think about and it covers quite a few areas. These days,with all the news,IT security is often at the front of the mind,but there is the matter of physical security too. The cost of having on site,permanent security patrols are often out of the question for most small and medium sized firms and in these instances mobile security patrols can be the answer for you,your staff,and your customers.

Here are 3 reasons that mobile security patrols can be the answer to your security problems:-

1. A Great Deterrent

Mobile security patrols are just that,mobile,and this means that unlike static guards,they can cover many areas over a period of time,and yet can also visit the same area many times too. Add in the feature of not doing this in a routine manner (varying the times of each check) and you get a highly effective deterrent. With most criminal activity being typically opportunistic,most possible perpetrators having seen that security patrols are conducting regular spot checks are very likely to move on to an easier target. Besides this,they can also move very quickly when the alarm is raised or one is triggered,thus leaving perpetrators with less time to escape. These fast response times also give any staff that may be in danger,a greater sense of security and increase their sense of wellbeing,this being especially important in the case of ‘lone workers’.

2. Many Checks Are Possible

Static guards typically just carry out security checks within the business premises,or on the periphery,for instance at the gates. On the other hand mobile security patrols can carry out a much wider variety of external checks. This allows protection for areas that are not covered by CCTV cameras. Thus they can check for signs of a forced entry on the perimeter fence,whilst also looking for vandalisms or graffiti. Plus of course they can also monitor for any suspicious activity within the vicinity of the premises.

3. They Are Cost Effectiveness

Some firms may simply not be able to pay for a full time security guard to protect their company,premises,or property. In these instances mobile security patrols offer a highly cost-effective solution. This is easy to understand as unlike static on-site patrols who have to be paid all the time they are on shift,mobile security patrol companies only charge for the time spent actually patrolling a premises. The downside of this choice is that you will not have a full time security presence,but given the fact that such patrols can cover such a big area,and that the frequency of how often they check is really down to you (and your budget) means that it can really be just what is required.

Summing Up

So,if you are considering your firms security,or if you have always asked yourself “why should I choose to use mobile security patrols?”,you now have three compelling reasons to take this path. All you need to do is find the right security company to provide the necessary level of service,one that fully meets your firms needs and is one that you can afford.

The first thing you need to do is to check with your local city or county planning department to learn what the regulations for the address where you want the sign placed.

What they will tell you first is whether the zoning in that area allows for a sign,and if so,what is the maximum size for that sign,if you are allowed to have an internally illuminated sign or neon sign or electronic readerboard or just a monument type sign,or even just a banner or a 4 foot by 4 foot plywood sign. Not to worry,there’s a regulation for everything you do in your business in most 1st World countries (such as the US,Canada,and W.Europe).

Assuming that you can put a sign in the zone you want to place your business in,they will require you to provide some sort of drawing that shows how your sign will be installed.

If you are planning some type of monument sign with metal letters or the like,or an electrical sign mounted on a monument or a pole,it is likely,especially if it is a large electrical sign mounted on a very tall pole 20′ or taller,that you’ll need to have an engineering firm clear the installation method for wind load and weight and whatever else engineers sign off on for loads of cash.

-

Once the engineer and/or the city planning department has signed off on their approval that the sign will not fall on their Mom,they’ll issue you a sign permit for anywhere from a few dollars (in small towns) to ridiculous sums of money that would make George Washington go bald… oh,wait,he was bald.

Once that is done,often in conjunction with a professional sign company,now you are ready to have the sign put up – unless you are particularly skilled and have the tools to do it yourself.

A simple sign can be installed by a sign installer from your sign company or you can do it yourself if you’re trying to save coins. As I said before,you can install most any sign by yourself if you have excavating equipment,experience with building concrete forms (or have watched at least one YouTube video on the subject),a boom truck,and an electrician’s license (in many municipalities).

For sake of this discussion,let’s say you are having a 12′ x 18′ sign installed on a metal pole 37′ in the air. Let’s also say you’re having XYZ Company install the sign,a reputable local sign installer.

-

The first thing they’ll do is dig a huge hole. This is for the concrete which will surround the pole. The engineer required enough concrete so that just in case there are 2000 mph winds,this sign will not EVER fall down. Or thereabouts.

Next they’ll place the pole in position,plumb and level it,and weld stabilizer bars to it so that when the concrete is poured it will,hopefully,stay exactly where it was placed. Electricity will also be run up inside the pole in most instances when possible.

The next step will be to let the concrete harden,then cut the stabilizer bars off the pole. Now they’re ready to place the sign on the pole. This is where a boom truck comes in very handy. The sign is lifted into place,and for larger signs,usually a 2nd truck will have a “bucket” where a professional sign installer will weld the sign into position – hopefully plumb and level.

-

Lastly,the sign installer will add lamps inside the sign cabinet,hook up the wiring to the sign cabinet,install the sign faces,and paint the pole or install a pole skirt.
