Prevention Coalition
(OUDPC)
The Ohio Underground Damage Prevention Coalition (OUDPC) is a collaborative group of industry leaders, stakeholders, and advocates dedicated to enhancing safe excavation practices through meaningful updates to Ohio’s excavation laws.
Established in 2011, the OUDPC is open to all stakeholders and interested parties to participate, discuss, and recommend meaningful revisions to Ohio Revised Code (ORC). The OUDPC’s efforts have been very successful, resulting in the passage of several significant pieces of legislation. Ref. HB458 (2012), SB378 (2014), Sub HB430 (2021) and some provisions within HB315 (2024).
