Our crew has been using it and feedback from them is that it protects jetter hoses from being scraped on frames that cause cuts in the hose. It also becomes a visual aid for safety and helps keep any tools that may be lying on the ground near an open manhole from falling in.

A must have for my underground service contractor. Increases visibility and safety of the worksite, especially in high traffic pedestrian areas. No more lost tools! No more injuries from people inadvertantly stepping in an open hole. Good job Guys!!
