Course Overview
  • Thousands of propane cylinders are used safely everyday.  Unfortunately accidents can and do happen.
  • In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your customers, propane cylinders must be inspected prior to each time they are filled.  One step in the pre-fill inspection identifies cylinders that are due for requalification before they can be returned to service.
  • Using PERC’s Cylinder Requalification program as its foundation,  3 hour  training session will provide information about the properties and characteristics of propane, the different types of DOT cylinders requiring period requalification, and procedures for requalifying DOT cylinders using the external inspection method.

Attendees who successfully pass the end of course quiz will receive an electronic certificate of completion.
