PSC asks people to call before they dig

April is National Safe Digging Month

By Montana Public Service Commission

In an effort to remind the public about safe practices when digging, the non-profit Common Ground Alliance sponsors National Safe Digging Month every April.

“As spring projects get underway, I would like to remind Montana that anyone digging take the proper precautions to ensure their own, and others’, safety. A quick call to 811 before you dig can save a life, and as April is National Safe Digging Month, it’s only appropriate that we spread awareness of this important tool,” Montana Public Service Commission Chair Brad Johnson said. “Safety when working near propane, natural gas pipelines and buried electrical lines is the number one priority, and calling before you dig should always be the first step before your shovel hits the ground.”
