The Importance of Calling Before You Dig: Don't Take the Risk!

This nightmare scenario is easily avoidable. The solution? Call 811 before you dig. It's a free call that connects you to your local one-call center, which will notify affected utility companies. They'll then send locators to mark the approximate location of underground lines with flags or paint.

This safety decal is typically applied directly to clean, dry, and non-porous surfaces on the heavy machinery exterior. Common placement areas include the cab window, exterior door panel, or immediately adjacent to the operator's primary control console. It is important to avoid placing the sticker where it could obstruct the operator's direct line of sight or block safety-critical glass surfaces.

The Caution Never Dig safety decal is designed specifically for earthmoving and digging machinery. It is fully compatible with excavators, backhoe loaders, trenchers, and bulldozers. Installing this decal on these specific vehicle types provides a direct visual reminder to operators at the point of operation.

This decal supports excavation, trenching, and earth-moving applications by prompting operators to contact proper authorities before breaking ground. It serves to reinforce the "Call Before You Dig" protocol, helping to prevent accidental damage to underground gas, water, electric, and sewer lines. Using this sticker on-site helps protect your crew from utility strike injuries and avoids costly project delays.

The "Call Before You Dig" process, initiated by calling 811, locates underground utilities such as gas lines, water pipes, electric cables, telecommunication lines, and sewer lines. It helps prevent accidental damage to these vital systems.

Even digging a few inches can be risky! It's crucial to call 811 before *any* digging project, regardless of the depth. Underground utilities may be buried just below the surface.

Yes! Always call 811 before digging, even on your own property. You might not know the location of underground utilities, and hitting them can have serious consequences. It's a free and easy way to protect yourself and your community. Remember to install your call before you dig sign.
