Driver, Technician, and Fuel Handler Safety Training for LNG Powered Vehicles

This one-day course is devoted to training drivers, technicians and fuel handlers on safe driving, fueling and operating practices of today’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles.

 
The training will deliver all the information necessary to insure that your fleet powered by LNG is driven, fueled and maintained in a facility to meet or exceed current safety standards. You will also learn the safety features of the LNG fuel storage and delivery system. So, whether you are a driver, technician or fuel handler, or whether you are a manager or trainer for these employees, you will come away having learned all this information.
