April is National Safe Digging Month, a time to remember the importance of calling National One-Call Center before any excavation project. But for those of us in the oil, gas and energy industries, safe digging goes beyond a single call. It’s a constant commitment to protecting ourselves, our colleagues, and the vital infrastructure we work with.
Why is Safe Digging Crucial in Our Industries?
Oil and gas pipelines, electrical lines, and other utilities run beneath our feet. Striking one of these lines during excavation can lead to:
- Serious injuries or death
- Costly repairs and downtime
- Environmental damage
How Can We Promote Safe Excavation Practices?
Here at PSC, we’re dedicated to your safety on the job. This National Safe Digging Month, let’s recommit to these essential practices:
Always Call National One-Call Center Before You Dig: This is the first and most crucial step. Give them at least three business days notice to mark underground utility lines.
Plan Thoroughly: Assess the worksite, identify potential hazards, and have a clear excavation plan in place.
Use the Right Equipment: Utilize the proper tools and machinery for the job, ensuring they are well-maintained and functioning correctly.
Wear Proper PPE: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and sturdy footwear are essential for shielding yourself from injuries. PSC offers a wide range of high-quality PPE products to keep you safe.
Train Your Crew: Ensure everyone on the job site understands safe digging procedures and emergency protocols.
