NUCA of OHIO

Last week, during our Government Relations event in Columbus, we took a moment to recognize some of the incredible companies that make NUCA of Ohio what it is today. Their dedication, leadership, and unwavering support continue to drive our industry forward year after year. These companies are the foundation of our chapter, the building blocks of everything we stand for.

NUCA of Ohio took on the Capitol yesterday, with a strong team of 20 members meeting with our Senators and Representatives to advocate for issues affecting our industry. We are committed to ensuring that underground utility construction is well-represented while prioritizing the safety of our workforce—because every employee deserves to go home safely to their family each night. We had productive discussions and will continue pushing forward to protect and advance our industry. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making our voices heard!

NUCA is consistently working to provide our members with information, tools and resources to improve safety on the job. The most recent example of how NUCA works for you is our partnership with Common Ground Alliance on the Damage Information Reporting Tool. NUCA has a tree-branch of the DIRT report called the NUCA DIRT Data Network. Your information goes right into the DIRT report, but we can also pull our own members data to tell our story. Click here for a link to join the NUCA DIRT Data Network. https://lnkd.in/ezM2biSR DIRT is a secure web application for reporting excavation-related damages and near-miss events involving underground utilities. Watch the webinar (https://lnkd.in/e_knKYuG) covering tips for submitting damage and near-miss data, new interactive user dashboards, how this data contributes to industry-wide safety improvements and helps identify root causes of excavation-related incidents, and how the Damage Prevention Institute (DPI) uses metrics-focused, peer-reviewed models to improve the reliability of the U.S. damage prevention system. #NUCADigs #WeDigAmerica #DIRT
