Strengthening Safety: Join Paradigm & Sunshine 811, Learn About Safe Excavation Near Gas Pipelines
Excavation damage to pipelines made up 15% of the 23,000+ buried facility damages in 2022.
Sunshine 811 has teamed up with Paradigm and their sponsoring gas organizations to bring you information on how to avoid damaging these highly volatile lines and respond when there is a damage.
Throughout September and October, we’ll offer free training and education at 13 locations throughout Florida for professional excavators, emergency responders and public officials.
