Celebrating leaders in safety excellence

Royal Oak Construction employees holding the 2021 Award of Excellence for Excavating.

Congratulations to NuBuild Contracting Inc., Powell Contracting Ltd. and Royal Oak Tree Services for receiving the 2021 Award of Excellence for Excavating. They are among 127 companies recognized in 2021 for achieving the highest standard of safety when excavating around natural gas lines.

Companies receive the award by submitting 500 or more locate requests to Ontario One Call and avoiding damage to any natural gas infrastructure. If you follow safe excavation practices, your company could be recognized next!


	Did you know that 41 percent of damage to underground infrastructure is due to unsafe excavation?

By following safe digging practices, you can avoid these consequences:

Seriously hurting yourself or co-workers.
Incurring expensive legal and repair costs, penalties and charges.
Losing productivity by bringing your project to a stop.
Jeopardizing future contracts and your reputation.
