Working Together for a Safer Propane Industry
Propane education and safety training has always been one of the
core goals of the Illinois Propane Gas Association (IPGA). The work
accomplished in this area by the IPGA has made Illinois one of the
leaders in propane safety.
Thanks to IPERC continuing to approve the grant request submitted
by IPGA to offset the cost of the Continuing Education and Safety
Meetings, Illinois propane marketers who are actively participating
in the IPERC assessment program may attend CETP, IPGA advanced
classes, and safety meetings at no charge. Your IPERC dollars cover
registration, lunch and classroom materials only. Individual compa-
nies are responsible for travel, additional meals and lodging.
General Information for CETP and Advanced Training
All CETP and Advanced Registrations will be done
through PERC’s Learning Center at
https://training.propane.com.
The number of students is limited to 10 per class during
COVID restriction period. In the event of lack of partici-
pation, IPGA reserves the right to cancel the class.

Students will also learn the basic parts of tanks, cylinders, bulk storage installations and how to maintain a safe working envi- ronment. Upon completion of the class, students should be able to identify piping and tub- ing materials, fittings and associated tools used by propane industry personnel. CETP - Propane Delivery Covers pre- and post-trip inspections, cargo tank markings, plant loading systems and cus- tomer deliveries of propane. Upon completion of this class, the student should be able to identify the proper filling procedures for propane storage containers, recognize placards and understand trip inspection requirements. Also covered in this class is the interpretation on service, leak complaints, and pressure & leak testing. CETP - Vapor Distribution Examines the installation and preparation of propane storage tanks and cylinders, vapor regulation and metering systems, vapor distribution systems, liquid distribution and vaporiz- er systems, inspecting and pressure testing piping systems and installing and testing cathod- ic protection systems. CETP - Plant Operations This class refreshes the advanced employee on maintaining ASME tanks, DOT cylinders, car- go tanks, and plant operations. This class can be used as a refresher course for plant man- agers and key service personnel.
IPGA ADVANCED TRAINING IPGA - LP Gas Systems Requalification Training Provides continuing education on methods and techniques for the proper installation of pip- ing systems and gas utilization equipment. This one day session will engage the attendees in the actual selection, hookup, conversion and testing of the system to ensure proper oper- ation, maximum efficiency and customer safety. Upon completion, students will now re- ceive a certificate thru Industrial Training Services.

Upon comple- tion, students will receive a certificate thru Industrial Training Services. This class is only offered every 3 years. Next available will be in 2022.
SAFETY MEETINGS Thanks to IPERC funding, the Illinois Propane Gas Association is able to provide three safety meeting this year for its members at no additional cost to the propane marketer. These meetings are held at 13 locations throughout the state of Illinois. Doing so allows us to reach as many propane companies and their employees as possible. Safety meetings cover a broad range of topics to keep you up to date on current laws and regulations. Also cov- ered during safety meetings is our 3-year refresher training required by NFPA and DOT. All meetings with the exception of Springfield and Urbana are held in the evening with dinner provided beforehand. Springfield and Urbana locations are daytime meetings with lunch provided.
