A message from the owner and chief instructor,
Patrick Joyce

I have conducted safety training
classes all over Florida, that have included
employees from each of the county, municipal, private construction, and consultant engineering companies listed in the sidebar at right.

With over 20 years experience with a large municipal utility as a Safety Manager, and with over 10 years of experience teaching safety classes for the Florida Section, American Water Works Association (FS-AWWA), I have met over a thousand of the dedicated, hard-working individuals in this industry.

They are the serviceworkers who install and repair roads, water, sewer, electric power, natural gas, stormwater, telephone, data communications, and signaling facilities.  It takes tremendous skill and effort to install this infrastructure accurately, safely, and in a timely manner.  These dedicated professionals have extraordinary committment to "get the job done", and "do what it takes" to make these systems hold together.

As companies began coming to me in 1999, demanding this FDOT training and certification, I was led to start Florida Underground Safety Training, to begin meeting that demand. 

My courses are presented in such a way to make the learning experience both interesting and challenging. The student sees valid and authoritative videos, meaningful on-site photos, accurate and approved engineering diagrams, and colorful illustrations to make the topics hit home and come alive.

This Intermediate Workzone Traffic Control course is fully approved by the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Maintenance of Traffic Committee (MOTC).  The approval procedure requires the MOTC to thoroughly review the course agenda, slide presentation, student handouts, exercises, final examination, and even the exam answer sheet and certificate.
