Course Description

This course provides the Class C UST Operator the training needed to know how to respond to emergency conditions at underground storage tank (UST) facilities. The Class C operator is an employee and is, generally, the first line of response to events indicating emergency conditions. This individual is responsible for responding to alarms or other indications of emergencies caused by spills or releases from underground storage tank systems.
