Membership Overview
Membership
As a unified organization, Utility Safety Partners is not just a place to request locates (Alberta One-Call), to learn about overhead power line safety (JUST), or to participate on committees of damage prevention stakeholders (Alberta Common Ground Alliance). Utility Safety Partners has combined all of those things into one safety hub.
Whether you are an excavator, locator, safety trainer, regulator, health and safety guru, or the owner of a utility, you are welcome to join us as a member of Utility Safety Partners. Everyone with a stake in safety and the damage prevention process has a seat at the table.
