Every April marks the beginning of Safe Digging Month aligning with the start of spring when outdoor projects typically commence.
This initiative is an essential reminder for both excavators and homeowners to contact 811 at least three business days before starting any digging. By following this important step, individuals can ensure facility owners and operators accurately locate and mark underground lines, reducing the risk of accidental damage. By proactively contacting 811, an excavator not only prevent injuries but also reduce the risk of disruptive utility outages, underscoring the crucial role of safety and responsibility in excavation practices.
