Education
Damage Prevention Technician Training (DPT100 and DPT200) provides instruction on the fundamentals of locating. The DPT training is focused on a combination of in-class instruction (in-depth review of techniques used to locate all utility types, safety, locate requests and industry practices), field awareness
review and an on-the-job competency assessment.
 
The Safe Excavation Training (SET) course sets the standard on damage prevention and safe excavation practices around underground infrastructure. It is the knowledge requirement for excavators in Ontario. ​​
 
Excavators who successfully complete the training will be awarded the Safe Excavation Certificate, demonstrating they know best practices and proper procedures to minimize damage, ensure worker and public safety, and keep projects on time and on budget. They enhance their own and their company’s reputation as professionals dedicated to the health of the industry and the public. ​
 
Developed by the ORCGA in consultation with numerous subject matter experts and corporate training experts Flint Learning Solutions, this training is based on the latest research and resources on excavation best practices, legislation and standards. It provides instruction on the fundamentals of compliance, planning and design, notification service, locating and marking, and excavation.
 
The SET is an interactive four-hour technical/theory course.

Last year was a big year for infrastructure development in Ontario. In the GTA, the Ford government broke ground on constructing the Ontario Line, advanced to the tendering phase to build the Bradford Bypass, and enacted legislative reforms to make it easier to build housing in the province. Building upon this in 2024 will be critical if the province is to resolve long standing challenges.

One project noticeably absent from Infrastructure Ontario's year end Market Update was Highway 413. While funding has been allocated for land acquisition...
