Dig Safe Training

Anyone performing work at the UMass Amherst that requires a DigSafe Notification is required to watch a training video and submit a certification form certifying that the video was viewed and understood. This video was created to outline UMA procedures, as well as review Massachusetts DigSafe and Trenching regulations. The certification is good for a period of two years, after which the video must be again viewed and the certification form resubmitted.

Please contact Sondra Slesinski, Physical Plant Safety Officer (sslesins@ehs.umass.edu; 413-835-1255) or Rob Wallace (rcwallace@ehs.umass.edu; 413-313-3608) for information about Dig Safe
