PRE-EXCAVATION CHECKLIST:

Use a checklist to ensure everyone’s safety on the jobsite before starting a job.

I HIT SOMETHING, NOW WHAT?:

If you do hit a buried facility, documenting the damage is critical.

WHITE LINING

White lining is a simple process for excavators to clearly indicate areas that need to be marked to the locators.

PRIVATE LOCATING:

Private utilities are not marked with a call to 811. Learn how to ensure private facilities are located and why it’s important to mark them.
