🚧 Another Busy Day on the Road for Virginia 811!

Virginia 811 Public Awareness Liaison Joseph Sparrow had a busy day yesterday spreading the safe digging message across Southwest Virginia!

The day started in Lebanon, providing safe digging training to the Russell County Public Service Authority crew, before heading to Blacksburg for the Paradigm Pipeline Safety Awareness Training Program.

It's always great to connect with industry professionals, promote damage prevention, and spread the Dig with CARE message from one county to the next!

Great turnout today in Roanoke for the Paradigm Pipeline Safety Awareness Training!

We had more than 60 first responders and excavation professionals join us to learn, connect, and strengthen pipeline and excavation safety in our communities. It was great to see so many professionals come together with a shared commitment to working safely and protecting the people and infrastructure around us.

There’s still time to join us! We have one more week of meetings coming up, so if you haven’t attended a Paradigm Pipeline Safety Awareness Training yet, we’d love to see you at an upcoming session.
