FROM THE DIRECTOR................................................................................
Recently, the LP-Gas Division has begun taking a new direction in its approach to regulating the LP-Gas
industry. This new approach has become necessary to keep pace with advances in technology (both in the
LP-gas and computer industries) and in the law (pertaining to insurance filings, increased
company/corporate liability and criminal procedures).
To this end, the division has proposed several new Safety Rule changes which were discussed in the Fall
1986 issue of the Safety Gram. These proposed rules more clearly define the licensees responsibilities,
eliminate varying safety standards, and reduce time spent in preparing and processing LPG forms. In the
near future, the division plans to further develop its educational program by conducting four seminars
designed for company/corporate managers. Information concerning these seminars will be mailed to all
licensees. As noted in a prior Safety Gram, an enhanced computer capacity will ensure that inspections will
be conducted on a priority/timetable basis and will increase the accuracy and efficiency of division
record-keeping.
The division intends to continue updating the LP-Gas Safety Rules to keep pace with advances in
safety-related techology, legal procedures, and federal regulations. The division also plans to continue
enhancing its computer capability to better serve members of the public and the LP-gas industry who
request information, as well as increasing the operating efficiency of the division itself. Through this Safety
Gram, the division will keep members of the LP-gas industry abreast of all changes occuring in the division
which may affect them.
TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE DIVISION ...........................................................
Recently,the division has received complaints from persons outside the division who attempted to place a
telephone call to division personnel but got no answer. Apparently, whenever a division employee is already
on the line with another caller, the telephone will not register a busy signal to the unsuccessful caller, but will
continue to ring. The division has contacted the telephone company about correcting this problem.
SHOULDER PATCHES FOR SALE....................................
Shoulder patches and bars are available to be worn by employees who have sucessfully completed
LP-gas examination(s) to show which activities the employee is qualified to perform. Should you desire a
patch (usage of the patch is optional), there is a charge of $1.00 per "certified" patch and $.50 for each "bar"
patch (which indicates the employee level of examination passed). Please contact the Licensing Section for
order blanks at (512) 463-6931.
