Nearly 76% of all damages are caused by just a few main issues. These have been consistent year over year, giving the damage prevention industry a chance to make a lot of progress by focusing on some key areas.

Did you know? A third of locate technicians point to a heavy workload as one of the biggest challenges to providing timely and accurate locates, with nearly one in five technicians (19%) saying the daily workload is unmanageable (Source: CGA 2020 White Paper). Some ideas to make locating more accurate and effective are, making white-lining mandatory, improving locate technology, increasing locate technician pay and providing more than 48 hours to complete a ticket. Share your thoughts on these potential solutions in the comments below. #Utilitylocating #Undergroundutilities #Locators #DamagePrevention #CGA #Contact811 #811beforeyoudig
