Alan,
Yes, you are required to provide a "Signal Strip" at half trench depth.
But with the types of excavator operators we have here these days, they are either colour-blind or couldn't give a toss.
Umm Dirt Brown- Signal Strip Orange, must mean keep digging.
One thing I will say though.
That SWA cable would last 5 minutes here under some of our digger operators.
We tried to train a few of them to the PoCo way of thinking, 2 came out as good operators.
1 died since from a heart attack.
Geoff is our man.
Working an excavator is something that takes real skill, I'm a kid as far as that is concerned.
