NATE today announced the release of a new video, “811- Call Before You Dig,” Video as part of its efforts to promote safety awareness around underground utilities and the critical importance of making 811 calls prior to digging.

The Climber Connection video presents a compelling narrative from the perspective of a tower technician whose work could place them at risk if buried utility lines are struck. Through a blend of real-world footage, animations, and expert commentary, the video illustrates how even shallow digging or ground disturbance can interfere with concealed utilities.
