811 Day is an annual initiative led by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to ensure the practice of safe digging is echoed in communities by calling 8-1-1, a nationwide toll-free number, before any excavation project.

Calling 811 or visiting www.call811.com, has proven to be the foremost preventive measure in excavation safety and damage prevention.
