Dig Safely

DIG SAFELY is a campaign led by the government and underground utilities to support communications efforts to raise public awareness of the “One Call” process and how to contact the appropriate center. DIG SAFELY also provides guidance on safe digging practices, including accurately locating and marking pipelines and other underground infrastructures.

DIG SAFELY stresses five key reminders:

  • Call Before You Dig
  • Await the Required Time
  • Respect the Marks
  • Excavate (Dig) with Care
  • Safety is Everyone's Responsibility
