5532(2020 02) SAFE EXCAVATION WITHIN THE TOLERANCE ZONE Before you start digging, and during your pre-excavation meeting, confirm what infrastructure exists within your “white lined” project area. Coordinate your work with the facility owner/operator and observe the owner’s TOLERANCE ZONE - The space in which a facility is located and in which special care is to be taken. Observe the facility owner’s Tolerance Zone and leave at least 1 metre of tolerance on either side of the located underground facility. Excavation within the Tolerance Zone requires care for protection of the underground facilities. Based on climate or geographic conditions, they include: • hand digging where practical • vacuum extraction methods • pneumatic hand tools, or • other methods approved by the facility owner. Note that Federally regulated (CER) oil and gas pipelines require a Prescribed Area, or Tolerance Zone of 30 metres from centre line of pipe. Please confirm your work plans with those organizations and respect this Federal law. Support and protect exposed underground facilities and notify the owner, or Sask 1st Call, of unidentified facilities. If any damage occurs to the facility, follow Emergency Response Plans and notify the owner. Follow facility owner directions on backfilling the excavation. Need more of these cards?

ALWAYS CONTACT SASK 1ST CALL BEFORE DIGGING Contact Sask 1st Call at sask1stcall.com or 1-866-828-4888 Provide the exact location of your dig site, the type of work you’ll be doing and your start date. Consider other facilities that may be present (RM, Rail, Water) and are not registered with Sask 1st Call. 2. DEVELOP A WORK PLAN Mark proposed work area with a white line (or black on snow). Identify any equipment, personnel, permits or approvals required. Perform a Hazard and Risk Assessment. Look for facility signage and other signs of ground disturbance. Identify hazards and risks associated with specific underground facilities. Determine controls and barriers to eliminate or reduce the risk. Develop emergency response plan. 3. CONFIRM LOCATES Is the record of locate available and does it match the work? Check expiry date of locates. Are locates marked with paint on the ground or with stakes? Do the colours match approved colour codes? 4. PRE-EXCAVATION Has contact been made with the identified facility owner(s)? Do you understand crossing agreements or approvals? Are copies of agreements or approvals on site? If site supervision is required, is the company designate present? Hold a pre-job safety meeting (tailgate) with workers: Review work plan, hazards control measures and emergency response. Inform workers of general/job specific safety rules and ensure they are trained. 5. DIG CAREFULLY Has there been any change to the work area? If so, contact Sask 1st Call. Ensure exposing/daylighting is performed as required by facility owners. Use safe mechanical excavation procedures as per OH&S Part XVII. Respect the required Tolerance Zones. Report any damage to the facility owner and call 911 in emergencies. Completion - work site left as required. Is the documentation completed? Are stakes removed and disposed?
