To all excavation companies, contractors or anyone performing excavation, drilling, blasting, or auguring:
Have you called for ALL of your locates? Due to the potential of serious injury/death and interruption of essential service occurring if an underground pipe is accidentally severed, the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that all underground services shall be accurately located and marked prior to excavation (O. Reg 213/91 Sect. 228).
Don’t risk your safety or the safety of your workers and the surrounding community. Please take precautions and contact Ontario One Call.
Ontario One call notifies members who have underground facilities in the vicinity of a dig site. Utility owners will then arrange for free field locates where appropriate. Please don’t forget to call other utilities and agencies which are not members of Ontario One Call.
