New for 2024! Monthly Safety Talk Series

The New York Propane Education and Research Council is excited to announce a new safety talk series for 2024. We are partnering with Mike DiGiorgio of www.propaneandoiltraining.com to hold a live 15-20 minute session each month on a safety topic specific to the propane industry.

These talks are FREE TO NEW YORK MARKETERS thanks to grants available from the Propane Education Research Council (PERC) and available at a modest fee to non-New York Marketers.

We hope you’ll tune in and broadcast it on a big screen for all of your drivers, service technicians, even customer service reps to watch. We’ll keep it between 15 and 30 minutes, so everyone can get to work. I know this is a busy time for us, but that’s precisely the time that we need reminders to do things the right way!

As a side note, this topic will be held on a MONDAY January 22 2024 due to some scheduling conflicts. But I promise it’ll be our last Monday! Moving forward, sessions will be held on the THIRD FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH. Here are the tentative dates:

  • Jan 22 – Winter Driving
  • Feb 16 – Importance of Proper Documentation
  • Mar 15 – Change Out That Regulator
  • Apr 19 – Out of Date DOT Cylinders
  • May 17 – Placing Seasonal Homes Back In Service
  • Jun 21 – Pre-Delivery Inspection
  • Jul 19 – Pre-Trip Inspection
  • Aug 16 – Leak Check
  • Sept 20 – Watch for Schoolkids
