Together in Safety,
Stronger in Collaboration

ACTS (Aligning Change to Succeed) formerly ESA (Excavation Safety Alliance) believes excavation safety and damage prevention solutions are possible only when everyone at the table is recognized as an important piece of the puzzle. Our mission is to provide the platform to help damage prevention professionals create and implement effective solutions based on mutual trust and respect for one another.

What We Do

Every ESA 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, damage prevention professional, and others like you in the industry. Because, at the end of the day, ESA doesn't employ any SUE experts, GPR specialists, or trenchless professionals (As you'll see in the team listings below). From Conference speakers, to Magazine authors, to 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.
