Best Practices - Latest Version

The CGA's Best Practices Committee developed a Best Practices Guide based on the work of the "Common Ground Task Force."  The guide includes a restatement of the best practices listed in the Common Ground Study, practice statements with supporting description, and all new practices published at least three months prior to the publication date.    The latest version, Best Practices Version 6.0, was published in February 2009 and includes all new practices approved prior to December 2008.    

The new practices included in the latest version include:

  • One Call Membership (Practice 3-26) was approved August 8, 2008.
  • No Charge for Providing Facility Locations (Practice 5-31) was approved August 8, 2008.
  • Modification to One Call Quality Standards (Practice 3-23) was approved November 14, 2008.
  • Project Coordination (Practice 2-16) was approved December 12, 2008.

 

Best Practices Version 6.0:

Version includes four new practices and an updated introduction with historical information.  The verbatim restatement of all of the ancillary material contained in the original Study, other than the best practices themselves, is available within the Common Ground Study published in 1999 and is intended to be used as an historical reference point for people interested in a more detailed background regarding current best practices.
