August 11 is 811 Day! đźš§
Safe digging starts with understanding what’s below, but having an 811 ticket is only the first step!
Before excavation begins, crews should verify that utilities have been marked, review the markings and ticket information, identify potential conflicts, and make sure everyone understands what is underground and where.
A ticket alone doesn’t make a jobsite safe. Awareness, communication, and careful planning help turn that information into safe work.
Know what’s below. Understand what’s around you. Dig with care.
