Underground Safety Alliance

Underground Safety Alliance (USA) was incorporated in November 2005, as a not for profit umbrella organization for Call Before You Dig one call centers. The founding members were Kentucky Underground Protection Inc. (KUPI), now known as Kentucky811, and Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service Inc. (IUPPS) now known as Indiana811. The Board of... Directors is comprised of three members from the Boards of Directors of each of the participating states. The By-Laws and accounting structure were formed in such a way as to allow other one call organizations to join in the future. Our significant commitment to the damage prevention industry is critical to offering the best possible services at a fair and reasonable cost to your membership. Additionally, Membership in the appropriate state One-Call Center is a baseline activity requirement of RP 1162 for operators of distribution, gathering, and transmission pipeline facilities. More specifically, RP 1162s Chapter 2.4.2 recognizes the One-Call Centers role in developing public awareness information materials and its ability to gather extensive information about excavation contractors. We certainly feel we can help enhance your states efforts in this area. Let us know your comments and request a membership packet.Read More
