A recent fatal construction accident on Hickman Drive is a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers that can exist when working around heavy equipment. A young worker lost his life after becoming trapped inside a concrete mixer while the truck was undergoing repairs. The truck had been experiencing mechanical problems, and the circumstances surrounding the incident are a sobering reminder that even equipment that appears to be inactive can present serious hazards. One life lost is one too many. At Equipment Giant, we believe our responsibility goes beyond helping customers find the equipment they need. We want the people using that equipment to understand its hazards, follow proper safety procedures, and return home safely at the end of the day.
