Dig Safe Month: Remember to Call Before You Dig!

Dig Safe Month: Remember to Call Before You Dig!

On April 1, industry members and municipal representatives will gather at Kingston's City Hall at 216 Ontario Street to promote a unified approach to damage prevention. This approach has been successful in drastically reducing the number of damages to underground infrastructure in Ontario. 

April 1 marks the official start of Dig Safe Month. The Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance (ORCGA) and its stakeholders have designated April as the annual Dig Safe Month in Ontario. This month is dedicated to improving safety and reducing damages to underground facilities by raising awareness of safe digging practices through local events across the province.

Through unified efforts, the industry continues to work towards our goal of ZERO damages. We are working together for a safer Ontario. Please remember:

  • CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
  • WAIT FOR LOCATES
  • RESPECT THE MARKS
  • DIG WITH CARE

Damage prevention is a shared responsibility; call before you dig!
