In cases where you are using earth moving equipment make sure the surrounding property is checked for existing damage before you commence and after you complete the work

 

If plant is to be left at a work site unattended make sure security devices are fitted to reduce the possibility of a claim occurring.

 

If underground work is a part of your business, always locate the exact position of the underground work being performed at the work site. Contacting Dial Before You Dig www.dialbeforeyoudig.com.au can help you with this.
