The Vermont Occupational Safety and Health Administration (VOSHA) is a part of the Vermont Department of Labor.
Underground facilities
Vermont’s Public Utility Underground Facility Damage Prevention System receives notices of proposed excavations and transmits them to member underground facility companies whose utilities may be affected. These companies then mark their facilities in the area of the proposed excavation to prevent damage, interruption of services, or excavation worker injury. The notification system rules are found in the Vermont statutes at 30 V.S.A. §§ 7001 through 7008.
