Locating 101 - Alternate Locate Provider

This Utility Safety Partners (USP) endorsed course is designed for buried facility locators (Locators), as well as personnel involved in requesting, planning, and overseeing locating activities. It provides an overview of the processes involved with locating and marking buried facilities. Along with a competency assessment, this training is required for any Locators participating in the Alternate Locator Provider (ALP) Program.

The objective is to build a Locator resource pool which focuses on consistently trained and qualified Locators with a focus on safe locating of buried utilities, mitigation of risk to people, facilities, and the environment, while enabling timely response to locate notifications. 

Our class is going digital, meaning we'll use online materials instead of paper and will be offered mainly as a Virtual Instructor-Led Training (vILT) course via Zoom! This change makes our learning more interactive and accessible for everyone. Each participant must have a laptop or PC with video and audio capabilities and a stable internet connection.

The duration of the course is approximately 6 hours of teaching time. For more information regarding the ALP Program, click here: https://utilitysafety.ca/learning-centre/alp-program-faq/
