Step 1

Before you start digging, plan your job and be sure you have considered who you

Health & Safety codes

Be aware of and follow the Occupational Health & Safety codes in your area for work near buried and overhead facilities. For example, hand exposure of facilities in a non-destructive manner prior to ground disturbance work; verify clearance to overhead lines, etc.

The safety and well being of our locators at the site is of the utmost importance. Whoever requested the locates may need to make additional arrangements for traffic accommodations to close off a section of roadway for the job to be performed safely.
