In order to take the appropriate safety measures, if necessary, and before starting any earthworks, the employer must obtain information from the relevant road authority in the case of work on public property, or from the owner in the case of work on private property:
1° The possible existence of soil deposits;
2° The location and nature of any underground pipes or cables that may be in the area where the work is to be undertaken;
3° The risks of the subsoil being impregnated by noxious fumes or products.
