Equipotential work zone training for hydrovac and daylighting crews

Equipotential everywhere

Hydrovac crews excavate inches away from energized infrastructure. Give them the steps to position mats, bond working components, and create equipotential zones before they daylight or expose utilities.

Course Overview

Plan smart.
Dig confidently.

Protect your Hydrovac and daylighting crew by teaching them hazard identification, bonding, and incident response through scenarios from real field work. This course helps keep every boot, boom, and hose at the same potential before any excavation begins.

Safe.
Efficient.
Field-tested.

Strip away theory and focus on the step-by-step setup: establishing a plan, verifying equipment continuity, positioning mats and applying bonds before exposing utilities.

  • Complex hazards in plain language
  • No special facilitators or hardware required

Cover the whole crew

Add complementary bonding courses so daylighting teams, vacuum operators, and plant staff work from the same playbook.

Why contractors and utilities pick this course

Our hydrovac program is built with engineers and front-line operators so it lines up with safe work requirements. Crews learn how to respond if there is an accidental energization or line contact.

  • Approved for Fortis Alberta hydrovac work
  • Based on practical field investigations
  • Empowers supervisors to verify competency
  • Live and customized delivery options available
