Concrete Sawing & Drilling Safety Week Returns Jan. 29-Feb. 2, 2024

MAUMEE, Ohio -- Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS), the country's largest infrastructure visualization company, has announced that Concrete Sawing & Drilling Safety Week 2024 will run January 29 - February 2.

Since 2018, GPRS has sponsored this safety initiative to provide free training to construction crews across the country, helping them mitigate the risk of silicosis and the other dangers of cutting or coring concrete.

During CSDSW, GPRS safety professionals travel the country providing safety talks - along with breakfast or lunch - to construction crews of all sizes.

To date, GPRS has educated over 20,000 construction professionals through this annual program. In 2023, over 150 companies proved their dedication to the safety of their workers by hosting CSDSW talks on their job sites.

"CSDSW is an amazing event due to its ability to bring education directly to the job site and the workers that need it most," said GPRS Western U.S. Sales Director Dave Mulcahey. "Silica dust exposure, post-tension cables, electrical shock, and so many other dangers associated with cutting and coring are serious issues that cause injuries and fatalities. CSDSW allows workers to understand the issues, but also prepares them with how to avoid those dangers and go home safely at the end of every day."

Silicosis will be a focus of this year's CSDSW presentations.

This incurable, progressive lung disease is the result of years of inhaling Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS), which is dispersed into the air whenever concrete is penetrated. Workers without proper protective equipment can inhale RCS, which can lie dormant in their respiratory systems for up to ten years before silicosis symptoms arise.

According to Environmental Health Insights, there are potentially 2,500-5,000 undiagnosed cases of silicosis annually.

In the past, minimum surveillance requirements on the job site meant that many silicosis cases were not reported or diagnosed. In 2023, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) enacted enhanced enforcement measures designed to limit the amount of RCS workers are exposed to, as well as how employers are required to report illnesses and injuries, including silicosis.

Exposure to crystalline silica is also directly correlated to increases in the risk of developing lung cancer, kidney disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, lung infections, and more, which is why OSHA issued enhanced enforcement measures regarding RSC exposure earlier this year.

CSDSW attendees will learn how to protect themselves and their coworkers from silicosis, concrete saw kickbacks, pinchpoints, and more.

GPRS Launches New Safety Initiative to Address Aging Water, Wastewater Infrastructure

MAUMEE, Ohio -- Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC (GPRS) has announced a new safety initiative designed to help municipalities and facilities regain control of their water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure.

Water & Sewer Damage Awareness Week (WSDAW) will run October 23-27, 2023. GPRS water safety professionals will spend the week traveling the country to give free WSDAW safety presentations to government officials, facility managers, and other individuals and entities in charge of water and wastewater systems.

Additional safety information will also be shared throughout the week on both the GPRS and WSDAW LinkedIn pages.

GPRS' Senior Vice President of Marketing and SiteMap(®) Product Executive, Jason Schaff, explained that WSDAW is designed to help these groups take back control of their water and wastewater systems:

* Six billion gallons of water are lost daily in the U.S. due to defective subsurface water infrastructure. This is referred to as non-revenue water (NRW) and $2 billion of it trickles away into the soil or waterways each year

* 70,000 sanitary sewer overflows occur annually in the U.S.

* The average sewer pipe in the U.S. is 45 years old and at 81% capacity

* The United States' infrastructure scored a C- on the 2021 American Society of Civil Engineers Report Card

"Infrastructure in America is in bad shape," Schaff said. "Utility infrastructure and specifically sewer infrastructure is in bad shape. Water is becoming scarcer. WSDAW is positioned to help address some of these issues with simple and practical solutions."

He continued, "Money is literally leaking out of our pipes every day. There are some great, proactive approaches that WSDAW will bring to light - not only saving money, but increasing safety and decreasing project delays."

For more information about WSDAW or to sign up for a free WSDAW safety event, visit WSDAW.org.

The homes offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts from 700 to over 2000 square feet. Interiors feature 9-foot ceilings, chef-style kitchens with stainless steel appliances, wood-style plank flooring, oversized closets, and plenty of sunlight. According to Hero Homes, upgraded countertops, kitchen backsplashes, and new cabinet faces will be added to each unit along with smart locks and thermostats, USB outlets, and upgraded plumbing and lighting fixtures.

Residents will have access to parks, dog walking areas, top Cleveland restaurants and plenty of shopping and entrainment.

Mr Ibrahim added, "We are excited about this new infill acquisitions in the Cleveland suburbs and look forward to working alongside the city and other property owners in the area to provide quality housing for local residents. We see significant value and potential in Cleveland and are in discussions to buy an additional 500 homes from various sellers in the coming months."

Hero Homes was founded in 2011 by Mr Sayam Ibrahim, along with Sayam's brothers Amiel Ibrahim and Xavier Ibrahim and their partner Jonah Stevens.
