Course Curriculum

Propane is widely used in construction for a variety of everyday tasks, including flame cutting, space heating, heating or melting materials, and powering internal combustion engines. This training program is designed to provide the information and hands-on practice necessary for construction workers to be able to safely connect, activate, and disconnect heaters, torches, and propane-powered equipment of less than 400,000 Btu/h, in accordance with Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) requirements.

Learning Objectives:

• Propane hazards
• Legislation and safe practice
• Connection, activation, and disconnection of propane

Note:

Each participant is expected to bring their own CSA approved head, foot and eye protection as well as neoprene gloves. Participants will also be required to wear long sleeves and long pants and be dressed for outdoor activity. The participant will not be permitted to participate in the course if they do not bring the noted personal protective equipment and clothing.
