Gather Information
A successful job begins before you dig. The first step in planning is reviewing information already available
about the job and jobsite.
Review Job Plan

proposed work that may be taking place at the same time.
Notify One-Call Services

area that do not subscribe to One-Call.
Arrange for Traffic Control
If working near a road or other traffic area, contact local authorities about safety procedures and
regulations.
Plan for Emergency Services
