The City of Victoria recently applied for a OSHA Safety Grant to help with employee safety and to minimize employee risk when installing posts and trees. The City reviewed how they were installing sign posts and wanted to minimize the cost of renting an air compressor while also reducing the manual pounding of posts. The City of Victoria was awarded a Gas Post Pounder through the Minnesota OSHA Safety Grant for about $2500.
The City also applied for another tool on their OSHA Grant application.
Victoria had been digging post holes and installing basketball hoops by
manually digging them out; they also needed a safer way to install trees in
their parks. After renting an auger attachment and continuously seeing the
employee benefits they added it to their grant application and it was approved
as well. The recent auger acquisition is waiting for the spring months to be
put to work. The Auger Attachment was purchased for about $1800.
