ANNOUNCER:
APRIL IS NATIONAL SAFE DIGGING MONTH AND KURT BUSCH, DRIVER OF THE NUMBER 22 SHELL-PENNZOIL DODGE, KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF DOING THE LITTLE THINGS TO ENSURE SAFETY.
KURT BUSCH:
“Before every race, I take small steps such as testing my safety harness to make sure I’m protected. When doing projects at home, it’s no different, and a quick and easy step I always take to ensure safety is calling 8-1-1 before I do any digging.”
ANNOUNCER:
WHEN YOU CALL 8-1-1 AND REPORT YOUR DIGGING LOCATION, A LOCAL CALL CENTER WILL SEND A FACILITY OPERATOR OR THEIR DESIGNEE, TO MARK THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES LIKE NATURAL GAS AND OIL PIPELINES BELOW YOUR PROJECT, SO YOU CAN DIG CONFIDENT THAT YOU KNOW WHAT’S BELOW.
KURT BUSCH:
“Every digging job requires a call, even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. Calling 8-1-1 will keep your community safe, avoid environmental harm and prevent your neighbor’s cable or water from going out.”
