KNOW Before You Dig™ – Training Programs
Practical, role-based training designed to help professionals understand and manage risk associated with public and private utility infrastructure before ground disturbance begins.
KNOW Before You Dig is role-based training on managing the risk from publicly and privately owned buried utility infrastructure before ground disturbance begins. Level I comes in two editions, U.S. & Canada and Ontario, and each is an online, self-paced course of approximately 4 hours for $70 USD with a certificate of completion. It is for anyone involved in ground disturbance on private property, including ground disturbance professionals, private locators, asset owners, engineers, insurers, and regulators.
Why This Training Exists
Public locate systems address publicly owned facilities but do not address private utility infrastructure.
This gap leads to missed risk, unsafe decisions, and avoidable damage on private property.
