Conway, AR — April 1, 2024
ACTS Now, Inc. (ACTS), a pioneering force in damage prevention and public safety, announces its recent acquisition of a suite of products and services from Excavation Safety Alliance (ESA). This strategic move fortifies ACTS’ mission to serve as the premier positive resource for effective damage prevention and public safety.
The acquisition includes key assets such as the ESA Global Excavation Safety Conference,
the Excavation Safety Magazine, the Excavation Safety Guide, the Excavation Safety Alliance Membership Program, and the Pipeline Ag Safety Alliance. These additions align seamlessly with ACTS’ longstanding dedication to advancing public safety and fostering collaboration within industry stakeholders.
Founded in 2007, ACTS has been at the forefront of proactive initiatives, initially collaborating with Sam Johnson and Mississippi 811 to address regulatory gaps within state dig laws. Over the years, ACTS has spearheaded initiatives like the 811 Magazine and the Damage Prevention Summit, aimed at cultivating vital relationships at the state level.
Roger Cox, President of ACTS, commented on the acquisition, stating, “The integration of ESA’s offerings perfectly complements our vision and aligns with ESA’s mission to save lives through education and collaboration. By melding insights from state-level events with global perspectives showcased at the Global Excavation Safety Conference, we aim to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas, education, and networking opportunities.”
Cox further added, “We are exploring avenues to extend membership in the organization to our existing 811 Magazine subscribers and Damage Prevention Summit attendees. Additionally, the popular Town Hall talks will continue to serve as a platform for industry stakeholders to shape the future of excavation safety and damage prevention.”
As part of this evolution, ACTS is undergoing a rebranding initiative to reflect its renewed vision and direction. Blending these resources promises to elevate public safety standards and empower stakeholders with enhanced effectiveness.
Stay tuned for forthcoming announcements as ACTS embarks on this transformative journey to bolster damage prevention without boundaries.
