• Follow U.S. Department of Labor regulations on excavating and trenching (Part 1926, Subpart P) and
other similar regulations.

Canada) to have underground utilities located before digging. Also contact any utilities that do not
participate in the One-Call service..
• Inspect jobsite and perimeter for evidence of underground hazards, such as:
– “Buried utility” notices
– Utility facilities without overhead lines
– Gas or water meters
– Junction boxes
– Drop boxes
– Light poles
– Manhole covers
– Sunken ground
• Mark location of all buried utilities and obstructions.
