Call Before You Dig Program (Sep 2012) Damage to pipelines during excavation is a leading cause of accidents resulting in serious injuries and fatalities, but these accidents are preventable, and you can help in preventing them.
811 is designated as the national call-before-you-dig number. Every state has a one-call law requiring excavators to have underground utilities marked before digging.
There are five steps to safer digging:
1. Make a free call to 811 a few days before digging.
2. Wait the required time – which is prescribed in state law but generally two to three days.
3. Locate/mark the utilities accurately. (This step applies to underground facility/utility owners.)
4. Respect the marks.
5. Dig with care.
The contractor is encouraged to adopt the “811, Call Before You Dig” program for its employees when digging on company-owned, leased, or personally-owned property. For information on how to http://www.trafficsafety.org/ implement such a program please visit the 811 – Call Before You Dig section of the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) website at www.phmsa.dot.gov.
The contractor shall include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts that exceed the micro-purchase threshold.
Safeguarding Classified Information (PHMSA January 2011)
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) contractor employees are obligated to protect classified information pursuant to all applicable laws, and to use Government information technology systems in accordance with PHMSA and Department of Transportation
(DOT) procedures so that the integrity of such systems is not compromised.
Unauthorized disclosure of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on a web site) does not alter the documents’ classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by contractor employees, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority
PHMSA contractor employees:
1. except as authorized by the Director, Office of Security (M-40), or other authorized DOT officials, and pursuant to PHMSA/DOT policies and procedures, shall not, while using computers or other devices (such as Blackberries or Smart Phones) that access the Web on non-classified
Government systems, access documents that are marked classified (including classified documents publicly available on WikiLeaks and other web sites), as doing so risks that classified material will be placed onto non-classified systems. This requirement applies to access that occurs either through
PHMSA/DOT or contractor computers, or through contractors’ personally owned computers that access non-classified Government systems. This requirement does not restrict PHMSA contractor employee access to non-classified, publicly available news reports (and other non-classified material) that may, in turn, discuss classified material.
2. shall not access classified material unless:
- a favorable determination of the person’s eligibility for access has been made by the DOT
Director of the Office of Security (M-40) or another authorized DOT official,
- the person has signed an approved non-disclosure agreement,
- the person has a need to know the information, and
- the person has received contemporaneous training on the proper safeguarding of classified information and on the criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions that may be imposed on an individual who fails to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure.
3. shall not remove classified information from official premises or disclose that information without proper authorization.
4. who believe they may have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified or sensitive information on computers that access the web via non-classified Government systems, or without prior authorization, should contact their information security offices for assistance.
