Together in Safety,
Stronger in Collaboration

You may not know ACTS, but we’ve been in the middle of excavation safety and damage prevention for more than 17 years. You can learn more about us in 2025 by attending the Global Damage Prevention Summit and by reading the new Global 811 Magazine published quarterly and mailed to more than 85,000 recipients. If you are looking to make a difference, we think you’ll find we fit like a glove... a work glove!

What We Do

Every ACTS initiative, from conferences to publications, is wholly focused on improving safety in excavation through collaboration.

At the center of all of these initiatives is you, a damage prevention professional, and others like you in the industry. At the end of the day, ACTS doesn't employ any SUE experts, GPR specialists, or trenchless professionals. From Conference speakers, to magazine authors, or Town Hall panelists, we rely on the diverse perspectives of industry experts. Our superpower is creating spaces and platforms for those perspectives to come together — places where discussions become collaboration and collaboration leads to solutions.
