JACKSON, Mich., April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ After more than a year of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, many Michiganders are more than ready to undertake outdoor digging projects like landscaping and other home improvements. Dig Safely Month is designed to remind residents and excavators that safe digging measures must be taken with every project, large or small. Safety is and always will be our top priority, especially when it comes to underground digging, said Javid Khan, executive director of operations compliance for Consumers Energy. It doesn t matter if the equipment used is a shovel, rototiller, auger or large earth-moving equipment, contacting MISS DIG 811 should always be the first step with any construction project. It s a free service that will mark underground utilities so you can then follow safe digging practices.
