Manufacturers Produce Vacuum Safety Video

Vactor Mfg. collaborated with the Assn. of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) to develop a video promoting the safe operation of vacuum excavation equipment. Vacuum excavation uses high-pressure air or water (hydro-excavation) to loosen soil, providing a non-destructive means to safely locate utilities and precisely excavate an area.

In conjunction with four other members of AEM’s Underground Equipment Manufacturers Council (UEMC), Vactor contributed funding, product expertise and other resources to the association to produce the 19-minute DVD. In addition to working with AEM’s technical and safety staff to help develop the video script, Vactor also donated an HXX HydroExcavator PD vacuum excavator, and operators, to be used in the filming of the video.

Available for purchase through the AEM Store, the 19-minute DVD complements an existing 35-page vacuum excavation safety manual also available from AEM.
