Components include an introduction to safety management for owners, managers, and supervisors as well as techniques for worker injury prevention.

Mobile Crane Safety – This program is designed to help crane operators, field technicians, and managers understand good practices and procedures associated with the safe operation of mobile truck cranes. This equipment is commonly used to install residential tanks and cylinders, deliver tanks that deliver temporary heat at construction sites, and set tanks and cylinders for residential and commercial pool heaters.

Static Electricity – This course provides propane industry professionals, facility managers, company safety officials and others a basic understanding of static electricity, its sources, common exposures, and strategies that should be used to reduce the risk of unintentional ignition. It enables propane professionals to evaluate their facility for static electricity and static discharge hazards, implement remediation or mitigation actions, and facilitate training/instruction for all applicable employees.

All five programs are still available in print and USB via the resource catalog on propane.com.
