Class C Operator

The Federal Energy Policy Act (the Act) of 2005 includes specific training requirements for operators of underground storage tanks (USTs).  The Class C operator(s) is on-site daily and is responsible as the initial responder to handle emergencies and alarms pertaining to a spill or release.  The Class C operator is typically an employee who controls or monitors the dispensing or sale of product.  This training program provides the basis for the Operator C, in addition to this training the Class A or Class B operator should provide site specific information to the Class C operator about the sute they will be working at.

A facility can designate as many Class C operators as they feel necessary to be in compliance with the requirements.  At a minimum, one Class C operator (or an A or B operator) must be on-site while the tank system is operating, except at unattended facilities.

The quiz at the end of this training will test your knowledge in the role of a Class C operator.
