Cost-Effective Services for Every Propane Marketer
Consulting and Needs Analysis
The most efficient way to develop a focused program for propane service consulting and propane safety training is to conduct a needs assessment. This will identify existing strengths and weaknesses and concentrate the program only in areas of deficiency that expose the company to risk or noncompliance. Usually, areas of deficiency can be corrected through the establishment of best practice policies and procedures coupled with employee training.
Policies and Procedures
Propane safety related policies and procedures play an important role because an organization's policies are the operational foundation for all its business processes. Clear policies ensure that all employees operate according to a consistent set of best practice guidelines. The scope of written policies should include language to cover legal issues, the health and welfare of employees and customers, and requirements as promulgated by DOT, NFPA and OSHA.
Employee Training
Data from the needs assessment defines the scope required for propane service and safety training. This action plan likely includes the establishment of needed best practice policies and procedures and the corresponding employee training to complement their adherence. The action plan may also include basics like CETP classes.
