What color paint does Digsafe use to mark electric power lines or cables?

  1. Yellow

  2. Blue

  3. Red

  4. Green

The correct answer is: Red

Digsafe uses red paint to mark electric power lines or cables. This color-coding is part of a standardized system intended to provide clear and consistent communication regarding underground utility locations. The use of red specifically signifies electrical power, helping workers and excavators identify the presence of electric lines and ensuring safety during excavation or construction activities. Understanding these colors is crucial for any professional working in or around utilities, as it reduces the risk of accidents and damages that could happen when digging without knowledge of the existing underground infrastructure.
