We couldn't have had a successful outing without you!  

On Thursday, September 24th, NUCA of Indiana held it's annual golf outing.  This years event was at Purgatory Golf Club and we could not have asked for better weather and support from our generous sponsors.  Our golf outing is our largest fundraiser that we have so that may continue serving the needs of Indiana through the NUCA of Indiana Foundation for Education and Research.  Three $500 scholarships are awarded to IUPUI students that are enrolled in the IUPUI Construction Engineering Management Technology (CEMT) Program.  We thank all of you who attended and hope you had a great day!

Competent Person Training is designed for all employees involved in trenching work, including job foremen, job superintendents, engineers and any personnel involved in underground projects. According to OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P, every excavation must have a designated Competent Person to manage the safety aspects of the site. To properly carry out Competent Person responsibilities, this individual must have training in, and be knowledgeable of, soil analysis, the use of protective systems and the requirements of the standard. Additional responsibilities include identifying existing and predictable hazards in the work environment and possessing the authority to take prompt corrective action.
