Refresher training will be offered every four years to UST Operators that have not changed positions in their places of work or have not received duties requiring additional responsibility. However, additional training will be ordered if KDHE determines that a facility has operated UST without permits, or the USTs at that facility have been found to be out of compliance with state and federal UST regulations.

Timing Of Class C Training

Class C operator is trained prior to assuming unsupervised responsibility for responding to emergencies at UST system facilities.

Requirements Of Class C Training

KDHE considers Class C UST Operators to be those employees who work at facilities with USTs. These employees are not considered to be managers. However, they may help out with daily release detection reporting or performing other UST-related duties as requested by their managers. Those employees who work behind the cash registers at convenience stores or who would be the first to notice or find out that there is something wrong with the gas pumps or dispensers should take the Class C UST Operator Training.
