Ch-02 Construction Propane Heater & Torch

CH-02 Propane training is mandatory for anyone connecting, activating or disconnecting propane devices (400,000 BTUs or less). As many employees will tell you they understand propane and know how to connect cylinders to heaters and torches, what they may not know are the legal details surrounding propane use at the job site.

Objectives

By the end of the theory portion of the program operators will understand how to:

• Read relevant legislation

• Explain the different characteristics of propane

• Organize a pre-operational inspection

• Explain the legal requirements for propane training

• Demonstrate proper set-up procedures for construction heaters and torches

• Demonstrate proper handling procedures for propane cylinders

• Recall safety features on propane cylinders

• Perform a hands-on evaluation

Following the theory part of the program there will be a practical evaluation completed. This consists of observing the trainee and testing their abilities to put the theory into practice.
