Safety is the top priority on every underground utility project. This article covers key OSHA requirements and best practices for safe utility boring operations in Alabama.

Call 811 Before Every Boring Project

Alabama law requires calling 811 at least 3 business days before any excavation. The 811 system notifies underground utility owners who then mark the approximate location of their lines. This is the first and most critical safety step before any boring begins.

OSHA Standards for Underground Utility Work

Underground utility boring operations are covered by OSHA standards including 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P (Excavations), Subpart Q (Concrete and Masonry), and the General Duty Clause. Boring Bros LLC maintains a comprehensive safety program that meets or exceeds all OSHA requirements.
