​We are pleased to be supporting the National Safe Digging Week promoted by LinesearchBeforeUdig (LSBUD) it is an initiative aimed at educating UK consumers and workers on safe digging practices.

We encourage all USAG members and followers to participate and perform as many of the following actions as is possible to promote the safe digging message, save lives and reduce damages to vital utility infrastructure during construction and excavation works.

• Make a few social media posts during the week across any of your social media channels in support of             #nationalsafediggingweek (to make life easy for you, imagery and wording can be provided)
• Encourage key contacts to take part in the week and build up
• Put link to LSBUD’s National Safe Digging Week webpage on your website
• Put same link in email signatures
• Encourage workforce to promote via social media
• Supply LSBUD with case studies/information of businesses that have been impacted after pipes or cables were ‘hit’
• Provide a quote for the national press release promoting the week – quote to also be used in other supporting collateral
• Distribute a national press release discussing support of the movement (press release to be provided) to own media     contacts
• During build-up and afterwards, include information about the initiative in customer communications such as newsletters or requests for meter readings, driving more people to search before they dig
• Perform own activity in support of the initiative

If you have any questions, wish to provide any case studies or to receive addititional supporting resources then please contact LSBUD at enquiries@lsbud.co.uk
