Dig This!

Warm weather is upon us here in West Virginia. Time to undertake all those projects we’ve been thinking about all winter—perhaps with excitement, perhaps with dread. If your summer projects involve digging or moving earth, please think about potential problems that may be lurking just beneath the surface.

I’ve provided two links to this post. The first was written by my friend, Stephanie Timmermeyer, Vice President for Safety and Regulatory Compliance for Williams Energy, related to safe digging. The second is a brochure put out by the West Virginia Governor’s Office with some good information to know before excavating. Please take time to review these information sources, especially if your summer plans involve breaking ground. Let’s make having a safe summer our paramount goal!

Here are the links:
