When digging in the yard or on a construction site, one of the most deadly potential hazards is accidental contact with underground wiring or utilities. Whether you are using a shovel or some sort of mechanical digging tool, contact with a live wire can seriously injure or kill anyone touching the tool. Another hazard involves the rupturing of a gas line, which could cause a large explosion. State and federal guidelines must be adhered to during an excavation and you should always contact the appropriate officials before you begin the project. By preparing ahead with local government, you can ensure that you are not digging into an underground utility or wire.
