In Ontario, safety standards for fuel are overseen by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). Due to a number of serious accidents over the last few years, the TSSA has stepped up its enforcement of the law as it applies to compressed gases such as propane. Workers who handle propane and propane equipment must either be competent through specific training related to their task, or hold a Record of Training (ROT) certificate that is valid within 3 years.  Everyone else at the work site should at least be aware of the hazards of propane and contact their supervisor if they suspect a problem.

There are also legal requirements for the approval of equipment, the use of gas-fired equipment, and the storage and transportation of gas cylinders. The rules and regulations can be found in different Acts:

• Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000
• Gaseous Fuels (Reg. 212/01)
• Propane Storage and Handling (Reg. 211/01)
• Fuel Industry Certificates (Reg. 215/01)
• Occupational Health and Safety Act 
• "Construction Projects (Reg. 213/91)
• Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (Reg. 860)
• Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act

Our course includes hazard recognition and evaluation, legislative requirements, safe practices, connection, activation, and disconnect of propane equipment.  Includes certificates and Records of Training (ROT).   Cost is $125.00 plus HST
