Danger Underground Telecom Cable Sign – Service Disruption Risk, Call 811 Before You Dig, 8x12 Rust-Resistant Aluminum Utility Warning Sign by CGAP Safety

A shovel, auger, or mini-excavator doesn’t have to hit “high voltage” to create a disaster. One cut telecom line can knock out internet, phone, alarm systems, cameras, POS terminals, and remote work for an entire building or neighborhood, and the repair bill usually arrives with a side of schedule delays and finger-pointing.

The CGAP Safety “Danger – Underground Telecom Cable – Service Disruption Risk – Call 811 Before You Dig” sign is a high-visibility warning marker for areas where buried telecommunications infrastructure is present. The bold DANGER header and simple, direct wording are designed to stop the “we’ll just dig real quick” mindset before it turns into an outage.

This sign supports 811 damage-prevention workflows by putting the right instruction in front of the right people, contractors, landscapers, fence installers, utility crews, and property owners, before excavation begins. It’s a practical reminder that telecom lines are frequently shallow, shared corridors are common, and “close enough” digging is how service gets cut.

Manufactured in 8 x 12 inches from rust-resistant aluminum, it is built for long-term indoor/outdoor use and holds up in sun, rain, mud, and jobsite handling far better than paper notices, laminated sheets, and thin plastic markers. Mount it on a post, fence, wall, or barricade near the work zone, easement, or known route area so it’s visible during planning and staging, not after the first bucket goes in.

Use this sign as part of your overall route identification and damage-prevention program to help reduce accidental cuts, unplanned outages, emergency repair costs, and customer-impact events.

Important: This product is a warning sign only and does not replace required locating/marking practices, safe excavation methods, or local utility notification requirements. Always contact 811 and follow applicable rules and site procedures before digging.
