Safety Outdoors

Follow these outdoors safety tips:

• Remind your parents to call 811, the national one call number, before you dig. They'll send someone out to mark the underground utility lines to make sure that there are no natural gas pipes in your work area. The lines must be marked even for small projects like planting a tree, building a fence or installing a mailbox on a post.
• Don't play, climb on or dig around the natural gas meter.
• Never pile dirt or snow on your natural gas meter.
• Children should never attempt to light outdoor gas grills.
