Damage Prevention Meetings
Each spring, Damage Prevention Meetings (DP meetings) are held by and for the excavation community focused on safe digging, damage prevention, and industry best practices.
Meetings typically include presentations from Gopher State One Call (GSOC) and the Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety (MNOPS), along with guest speakers representing other damage prevention stakeholders throughout Minnesota.
Damage Prevention Meetings are generally held from February through early May at locations across the state.
Visit the MNCGA events calendar to view upcoming meeting dates, locations, and registration information.
