Gather Information
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
Review blueprints or other plans. Check for information about existing or planned structures, elevations, or
proposed work that may be taking place at the same time.
Notify One-Call Services
Mark proposed path with white paint and have underground utilities located before working.
• In the US or Canada, call 811 (US) or 888-258-0808 (US and Canada). Also contact any local utilities
that do not participate in the One-Call service.
• In countries that do not have a One-Call service, contact all local utility companies to have
underground utilities located.
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
Have the telephone numbers for local emergency and medical facilities on hand. Check that you will have
access to a telephone.
