April is Safe Digging Month: Always Call or Click Before You Dig

You know the saying "out of sight, out of mind"? It might be true for some things, but when it comes to what's underground, ignoring it can be really dangerous. Beneath our feet, there’s a whole world of pipelines, cables, and other utilities that we often forget about.

Across North America, people do a lot of digging for various projects, and it’s easy to overlook the risks. If you don’t know what’s below, you could accidentally cause serious harm to yourself or others.

At Enbridge, we operate the largest and most sophisticated crude oil network in North America, and we’re leaders in natural gas gathering, transportation and processing. Safety is our top priority, and we want to remind you that April is Safe Digging Month. Please dig responsibly to keep yourself, your family,and your neighbors safe.

Always Call or Click Before You Dig. In Canada, this can be as simple as calling your provincial one-call provider or logging on to www.clickbeforeyoudig.com. In the U.S., it’s as simple as calling 811 (or visiting clickbeforeyoudig.com) at least two to three business days in advance of any ground disturbance projects.

Remember, damage prevention is a shared responsibility.
