WHAT IS CoRE-EX?
Coordinated Response and Excavator Exercise (CoRE-EX) teaches safe digging practices to excavators/contractors while also educating first responders and public officials on how to safely respond to a pipeline incident. The Excavator program presents updated damage prevention information and safe-digging practices to an excavator focused audience.
WHO IS PARADIGM?
Paradigm provides public awareness and damage prevention compliance services to assist with the regulatory requirements of 49 CFR 192 and 195, as well as API RP 1162. They facilitate more than 1,000 pipeline safety meetings for emergency officials, excavators/contractors, and public officials each year. Investing time in a CoRE, CoRE-EX, or Excavator training is the best way to learn pipeline response.
