CHECK that the One-Call ticket is correct

• Verify Address, scope, and area of your proposed excavation

CHECK the lawful start date and time.

• Verify excavation does not begin prior to the lawful start date & time

• 48 hours (Illinois) & 72 hours (Pennsylvania)

• A 2 hour waiting period exists for emergent locate requests (after 2 hours you must make another call attempt) Except for emergent requests, these waiting periods are exclusive of Saturday, Sunday, and One-Call holidays

• Work must begin within 14 days (Illinois) & 10 days (Pennsylvania)

• One-Call law allows deviation from these rules in isolated emergencies provided prudent digging techniques are utilized

CHECK for completeness and accuracy of locates

• Investigate and ensure facilities are marked near equipment (i.e. transformers, pedestals, splice boxes, down-feeds, meters, & etc.) within your extent of work

• Evaluate available maps & work orders to determine if marks exist, as they would be expected

• Verify if all One-Call utilities, municipalities, and private facility owners have located their facilities

• "All clear" marks or notifications should exist for those utilities that do not have facilities in the specified area of excavation

• When utilizing One-Call, never waive the "all clear" call back from utilities

LOOK for previous marks on sidewalks, curbs & roads

• Evaluate the potential for human error or oversight by reviewing the area for fading marks from previous locate requests

• If fading marks are found evaluate the potential for a miss-marked facility

USE appropriate maps, work orders, and prints prior to construction

• Evaluating maps, work orders, and prints will help determine if the marks found in the field are accurate

HAND DIG when working within 24 inches of locates or equipment to verify the underground facility's location

• EED has created the standard of a 4-foot tolerance zone. (24 inches either side of a mark)

• Tolerance zones are created due to the technical difficulty of locating buried facilities. The actual location of these facilities can vary to any portion of this zone.

• Mechanical excavation within the tolerance zone requires visual identification of all facilities

• One mark doesn't mean one facility

• Secure the excavation when unattended

NEVER use powered equipment in the tolerance zone such as trenchers, backhoes and augers until you have verified that the mark is accurate

• Once you determine what facilities exist, create a safe work plan to avoid them

• The tolerance zone is noted as the 24" area on either side of a mark.

• While using mechanical means to excavate, you are expected to utilize practices, such as "chipping in". This term amounts to digging outside the marks and using hand tools to loosen earth over marks into the excavation site

NEVER ASSUME:

• That the facility route is in a straight line

• That locating marks are accurate

• That utilities are buried at proper depth

• That no marks means no utilities

A DIG TICKET is not a license to dig

• TICKET is not a license to dig All information in this guideline combined and applied provides a safer opportunity to excavate

• Your evaluation of the information and existing field conditions are determining factors when beginning to excavate

RESPECT all One-Call marks.

• Refer to the One-Call law

• It's part of your safe excavation practices

• NOTE: Prudent Digging includes the strict adherence to all Exelon procedures and One Call Laws, the proper application and use of all approved tools as defined in this procedure as applicable, maintenance of the marks and the protection and support of uncovered facilities. The use of powered equipment shall only begin after the exact location of all facilities and visual identification of all facilities within the 24" tolerance zone have been identified and a safe work plan has been created to avoid the facilities. The safe work plan's responsible party would be On-site Supervision who would identify all potential hazards including but not limited to those referenced in this procedure and documented on the Job Brief.
