Dig Safely New York

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!
1-800-962-7962
IT’S THE LAW.

If you intend to excavate, you must first arrange to have the buried utilities located at your work site BEFORE you dig. New York State law, Industrial Code 53, requires it. Your safety and liability demand it.

To help simplify your responsibilities as an excavator, DIG SAFELY NEW YORK is here to help. With one quick phone call to DIG SAFELY NEW YORK, an excavator may contact several utilities with his stake-out request. As a One Call Center, DIG SAFELY NEW YORK will relay your excavation to its member utilities, who will visit your work site and mark or “clear” their buried utilities.

The service and phone call are absolutely free!

Remember these important facts:

NYS Law requires at least 2 FULL working days notice.

DIG SAFELY NEW YORK contacts its member utilities only. Code 53 Mandates that excavators consult with the current Central Registry of the town, village or city to determine which other Facility owners may be present. Any non-member utilities must be contacted separately.
