COVID-19 continues to change everything in our daily lives (including work) as we know it. Kansas 811 is always focused on safety and it is always top priority to protect our employees, members, excavators, and communities.
After much deliberation, it has been decided to offer a mix of in-person and hybrid approaches this year to achieve our 2022 education goals. Kansas 811 will also continue to have the on-line training module available.
In honor of April being National Safe Digging Month, Kansas 811 is putting your “digging” skills to work with 15 fun contests that will be shared on our Facebook and Twitter channels. Spring into damage prevention education while competing for a fabulous prize.
Every other day in April, we’ll publish a new contest question on our social media. Your job? Read the question, like the post, and leave your answer in the comments! For the dig law-related subjects – you may want to check out our website and “dig up” the facts.
The following day, we’ll publish the correct answers and announce our contest champion in the comments of the original contest post! The lucky winner will receive a Visa gift card. It’s a great way to test your safe digging knowledge, get familiar with the Kansas 811 website, and possibly win a prize!
Follow Kansas 811 on Facebook to be the first to know when the contests are published.

COVID-19 has changed everything in our daily lives (including work) as we know it. As we hope you know, Kansas 811 is always focused on safety and it is always top priority to protect our employees, members, excavators and communities.
After careful deliberations on how to best and most safely hold our 2021 Kansas 811 excavator training meetings, it has been decided to use a hybrid approach this year. Kansas 811 will make available two separate and unique training vehicles to achieve our 2021 education goals.
While Kansas 811 accepts all locates 24/7, these holidays will not be included when determining the legal start date for routine/non-emergency requests.
