Quincy, MA – NFPA has announced it will hold a series of “Train the Trainer” programs for the 2001 edition of NFPA 58, Liquified Petroleum Gas Code(r), during August and September. Funded by a grant from the Propane Education & Research Council, the one-day seminars will provide intensive training to instructors of industry personnel and other groups that require a strong knowledge and understanding of propane issues.

Attendees will also receive a comprehensive student workbook and a copy of NFPA 58; everyone who completes the training will receive a certificate of completion with CEU credits and a CD-ROM (a $250 value) for future training use, which includes all the information covered in the seminar.
