Tools and Safety Tips for You and Your Business

Think Safety First

As a retired Telephone Installation and Repair Technician, prioritizing safety was second nature to me. Working in close proximity to high voltage equipment was always a daunting task. My job often involved crawling under houses, maneuvering through attics like Spider-Man, and walking across rooftops. One wrong move could result in severe injuries or worse. I even experienced shocks from low voltage phone wires in the rain, as well as when someone dialed the phone number I was connecting.

I've worked in dimly lit alleys, hung telephone lines in canyons filled with snakes, skunks, and rodents, and even had to run phone wires from one pole to another across busy streets during heavy traffic. Those were undeniably nerve-wracking moments in my career.

In addition to my work as a Telephone Installation and Repair Technician, I also served as a Communications Technician, responsible for repairing 16 different types of computers across two counties. This often took me inside the phone company's central offices, where high energy and high voltage equipment were commonplace. I recall driving to remote areas like Imperial County at night, where streetlights were sparse, and without the convenience of a cell phone for safety.

I would like to recommend looking into SYB Shield Your Body products. I initially acquired wireless Earbuds but later decided to give them away after conducting further research. I purchased Cell Phone Pouches to ensure that I do not carry my phone directly against my body. Additionally, I invested in Air Tube Headsets, which have proven to be durable and long-lasting—a rarity among headsets. I encourage you to explore these products for your own safety and well-being.

However, it wasn't until the early 2000s that I began to realize the potential impact of my exposure to high voltage and low voltage shocks on my health. During a visit to a high-tech shop, the owner noticed that every time I walked past him, I caused interference on his cell phone. To demonstrate, he used a voltage meter, asking me to touch the probes. The needle on the meter swung significantly when I touched the probes, in contrast to his own touch, which barely affected it. This incident left me wondering about the long-term effects, especially considering it occurred before I even owned a cell phone. The potential health implications are something I've been contemplating over two decades later.
