A ground disturbance is defined as any work, operation or activity that results in the penetration of the ground at ANY depth for powered mechanical equipment; penetration of the ground to a depth GREATER THAN 300 MILLIMETERS for hand equipment.
This classroom-based program trains participants in ground disturbance awareness and procedures.
This online program was built on the success and content of the current Global Training Centre Ground Disturbance Level II® classroom program. This online training is endorsed by Alberta.
It is designed for any party that is supervising a ground disturbance, independently performing a ground disturbance or issuing and receiving ground disturbance permits.
Participants learn how to clarify sources when searching for underground facilities, provide notification to the facility owner and receive owner notification. Participants gain an understanding of the necessary approvals/crossing agreements and regulations necessary before creating a ground disturbance. They gain an understanding of line locating, including the use of electro-magnetic equipment, learn about types of exposure, and how to close out a ground disturbance project.
Course content includes 3D animated scenarios, expert character guideposts, interactive learning exercises, competency quiz questions, a full glossary and toolbox of regulations, codes, guides, a module designed to provide the requirements specific to Alberta, and also a defensible final exam.
Upon successful completion, students will be issued a training certificate valid for three (3) years.
Exam: A mark of 80% must be achieved to receive a certificate of completion. Participants can repeat the course a total of 3 attempts if a passing mark is not achieved.
