April is National Safe Digging Month


National Safe Digging Month serves as a reminder that digging without locating utility lines causes injuries, loss of life, and property damage every year. This damage can also lead to outages and fines. Every dig requires a call or that you contact the 811 Center in your state.

As part of our mission to promote public safety, PHMSA reminds everyone to always exercise the utmost caution as you plan and perform excavation projects (including small home projects). Always contact 811 before you dig. Safety is in your hands. Every Dig. Every Time.
