Toolbox talk: calling before you dig

Find buried services before you hit them. About 5 minutes.

Why this matters

Striking a gas, electrical, or water line can hurt people and shut down a neighborhood.

Request a locate before you dig, every time.
Wait for the marks and check them against the plans.
Treat unmarked lines as live.
Use hand tools or vacuum methods near marked lines.
Keep the locate record on site.
If you hit a line, stop, keep people away, and call the owner and the emergency number.
