Excavator Beware

Help us protect the communities you serve.

Like you, National Grid is committed to the safety of your community. We’ve developed materials on digging safely around natural gas pipelines to help reduce the risk of gas leaks, fires and explosions.

Preventing natural gas pipeline damage is everyone’s responsibility. We hope you will do your part to support natural gas safety by ordering these materials and sharing them with your employees and excavation contractors.

Spread the word about 811.

Encourage anyone planning a digging project to call 811 or make an online request at least two full working days before digging, excluding the date of notification, weekends and legal holidays in New York, and at least 72 hours before you dig, excluding weekends and legal holidays, in Massachusetts.
