S.Res. 673 is a resolution that supports the goals of National Safe Digging Month. It encourages homeowners and excavators to call 811 before starting any digging projects to ensure the safety and location of underground utility lines.
Media coverage has generally praised the resolution for promoting safety and preventing accidents related to digging. Outlets have highlighted the importance of raising awareness about the 811 service, which can help prevent damage to underground utilities and ensure public safety.
Some critics have argued that while the resolution is well-intentioned, it lacks enforcement mechanisms and relies too heavily on voluntary compliance. Others have pointed out that more comprehensive measures might be needed to ensure widespread adherence to safe digging practices.
