message from fpga’s president
Propane gas safety and education is a high priority of the Florida
Propane Gas Association (FPGA). For over 30 years the FPGA
Safety and Education Committee and the Bureau of Standards
have joined together to sponsor a highly successful week-long
safety school for the training and education of propane gas
industry employees from all across Florida, the Southeast and
other countries. This program is nationally recognized as one of
the best week-long comprehensive training classes.
The FPGA Safety and Education Committee has updated and
revised an already excellent program for this year’s safety
school. A broad range of safety operations will be covered by a
select group of veteran instructors from the industry and the
Bureau of Standards. Whether you’re an owner, supervisor,
manager, service technician, bulk truck driver, dispenser
operator or office personnel, this program will enhance your
safety knowledge and prove beneficial to your company’s longterm safety program.
For all current LP gas qualifiers, this program offers an extra
value by giving you the opportunity to earn up 30 state-required
continuing education credits. The State of Florida 601qualification examination will be administered on Friday for
those that need the 601 exam certification. Passing this exam
will allow employees to meet the requirements of Chapter 527,
Florida Statutes, as an LP gas qualifier under Florida law. After
successfully passing the examination, qualifier cards will be
issued to each student by the Bureau of Standards. In addition,
certificates of training will be issued to all students. I encourage
propane gas companies, equipment dealers, equipment
installers, service companies and related propane gas operations
to send as many of their employees to this safety school as
possible. There is not a better value for your company training
dollars anywhere.
