The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission expanded its Safe Dig Indiana program to include a new grant for local government employees to attend training and education workshops on underground utility safety practices. These grants will give local governments the ability to offer important education opportunities without having to consider the financial burden.
Before applying, employees must first complete the IURC’s free, online training courses, which cover the basics of the Indiana Dig Law and the 811 system.
For more information about the available grant, including a complete list of approved training and education programs, visit www.SafeDigIndiana.com.
It’s important to remember underground utilities may carry explosive gases, powerful electrical charges, critical data from hospital and emergency providers, high pressure water, and other products that, if damaged during excavation activities, can have serious or deadly consequences. Please remember to call 811 at least two business days before you begin any projects that involve digging.
