Locator Safety & Appreciation Week, April 20-16, 2020

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - April 17, 2020 - PRLog -- Locator Safety & Appreciation Week (LSAW) is nearly upon us! Held from April 20th – 26th, LSAW recognizes and shines light on the essential work of utility locators.

Locators are the backbone of the utility industry. We'd be lost without their unwavering work ethic and dedication to accurate marks. Locator Safety & Appreciation Week is a chance for the entire industry to celebrate locators and their hard work. They ensure the safety of the public and protection of the infrastructure we all rely on -- LSAW is an opportunity for us to say, 'thank you' for that too often unrecognized work.

It's also an opportunity to educate locators and the public on the possible hazards of the field. For 2020, LSAW is placing a special focus on the top ten hazards locators face on the job. This safety-geared focus has two goals: One, to remind locators to follow best safety practices – When they stay safe, the public stays safe. Two, to provide education to a public that may be unfamiliar with the hazardous elements of the job. Understanding the hazards locators face can grow public awareness and appreciation for locating work.
