Safe Digging Month has wrapped up!

Here are some key take aways from our review of the PROPPER phases of safe digging this past month!

Every ground disturber must first Plan the scope of work, Review all facility documents, and Organize all field personnel. Locators must be contracted to Perform locates, and ground disturbers should then Pre-excavate to confirm facilities. Ground disturbers are then responsible to safely Excavate and Restore the dig site.

And don’t forget to Call or click before you dig! Stay safe!
