APRIL IS SAFE DIGGING MONTH
April marks the sixth annual National Safe Digging Month, reminding Illinois residents to always call 811 before any digging project. Across the nation, every eight minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811. JULIE, Inc. is promoting National Safe Digging Month activities throughout the month. In addition to the recent launch of a new Web site, residents should be on the lookout for 811 banners and “Call Before You Dig” messages on fire department signs and other venues across the state. Free education and safety materials are available for community events and activities.

PHMSA produces and distributes the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving a hazardous material. It is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic classification of materials involved in an indicent and protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of an incident. The ERG is updated every three to four years to accommodate new products and technology. Part of the update process includes soliciting feedback from stakeholders through a Federal Register notice concerning the necessary updates.
