Each year, Iowa One Call travels the state to update excavators, locators, and facility operators on one-call requirements. The Excavation Safety Awareness Program meetings are free, and lunch is provided. Registration is required. The first meeting is scheduled for Jan. 9 in Johnston. For a schedule of dates and locations, and to register for a meeting, click here.

This year, Iowa One Call will provide an overview of its protocol, educate on private facilities, discuss best practices for communication between contractor and locate firms, and teach how to effectively use NextGen for accurate, timely locates.
