Groundwater Week 2020: A Toolbox Talk on Safety Gear, Part 1
The Driller hosted a wide-ranging talk about safety gear basics in our virtual booth at the Groundwater Week 2020 event Dec. 8-10. Host Jeremy Verdusco and cohost Brock Yordy invited back safety expert and The Driller columnist Dave Bowers.
Bowers an instructor with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 AFL-CIO Apprentice and Skill Improvement Program, and a big proponent of safety. Our talk mostly covers gear like eye, ear and hand protection, which Bowers says aren’t as widely used as they could be.
