Never assume it’s safe to excavate
Did you know there were more than 2,400 reported damages to underground Enbridge Gas infrastructure last year? The majority of these damages were due to unsafe excavation practices. Whether it’s a small landscaping job or a major construction project, hitting an underground utility can delay your project and put your crew, company and community at serious risk. You could also be accountable for costly repairs and even face serious penalties or charges.
It’s your responsibility to request a locate from Ontario One Call before you dig—and it’s the law. Respect the marks and dig safely.
Contractor requirements
The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) and other government regulators refer excavators to Enbridge Gas requirements for safely operating near our service lines. They are also used as a reference in the case of excavators causing damages due to unsafe digging.
Following the rules ensures contractors return home safe to their families. Watch our video to see more.
