This large format postcard supplements National Grid’s annual pipeline public awareness program (PPAP) baseline safety mailing to excavators. It provides five simple steps to protect underground utilities, including: contacting 811; waiting the required time; recognizing that locate marks are not precise and don’t indicate depth; not using mechanical equipment within the tolerance zone; and hand digging to verify location and depth of marked utilities. The message also directs excavators to call 911 and National Grid in a gas emergency and includes the emergency contact numbers across National Grid’s service area.
