811 Videos, PSAs and Supporting Tools

Promoting Safe Digging Practices

The CGA has developed a series of educational videos and public service announcements (PSAs) to bring the safe digging message to life. Contained in this toolkit are videos and supporting documentation for educating farmers and ranchers, for kids with engaging accompanying activities, and general public safe digging messages. Additionally, CGA has developed PSA videos and scripts highlighting safe digging practices and the consequences of digging without calling.
