Dig Safe System

Dig Safe System is a non-profit company that contacts utility companies in New England on behalf of contractors and homeowners. State laws require that electric, gas, water, telephone, and other utilities be notified prior to the commencement of any construction that requires digging, in order that underground lines, pipes, and facilities can be marked. This reduces the likelihood of damage to these facilities during the construction process, thereby preventing outages and potentially hazardous situations. Dig Safe issues permits to contractors who have contacted them, in order to certify that the correct procedures have been followed.

The Dig Safe symbol consists of a shovel and an excavator inside the international no sign. This logo can be found on ground level transformers throughout New England.
