The New York Propane Gas Association’s Emergency Response Committee is pleased to announce a three-day Emergency Responder Training Program that will be held September 12-14, 2017, and an Emergency Responder Refresher Training Program on September 14, 2017, at the New York State Fire Academy in Montour Falls, N.Y.
The refresher training is an OSHA requirement for all responders who have taken the original 24-hour (three-day) course. The OSHA standard requires a refresher training every three years.
Three-Day Course Overview:
This course will be based on the materials found in the Propane Emergencies Text, 3rd Edition. It will cover the physical characteristics of propane, the containers propane is stored in, and the way propane is transported. The information will then be translated to hands-on and real life ER training. Finally, there will be a review of ER responses and incidents and a look into the future of propane ER. This training can be applied to requirements for ER training in OSHA and NFPA standards.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact John Hart at (908) 307-3362. To register, contact the NYPGA office at (518) 383-3824 or email Shane Sweet. The deadline to register is September 5, 2017.
