We promote communication among responsible parties to identify and encourage the use of Best Practices for underground facility damage prevention for public safety and welfare.
We accomplish this through promoting effective communication of Best Practices for the prevention of underground facility damage and heightened safety initiatives to all responsible parties and stakeholders.
We work cooperatively with excavators, utilities, insurance companies, One Call, government agencies, engineering, agriculture, and many other groups.
