Caution - Electrical Cable Below - Underground Tape - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A highly specialised safety tape used to mark the location of buried electrical cables. Its primary purpose is to prevent accidental damage during excavation or construction activities, which could result in severe injury, equipment damage, or power outages. The tape is typically brightly coloured—often red or orange—with clear lettering, making it easily visible to workers and equipment operators when digging or trenching near underground utilities.

The tape is usually placed directly above buried electrical cables but below the ground surface, often 12–18 inches deep. This placement ensures that anyone excavating the area will encounter the tape before reaching the cable itself, providing a clear warning to proceed with caution. It acts as a first line of defense against accidental contact with live electrical lines, helping protect workers and prevent costly utility damage.
