Requirements Of Class C Training

A Class C operator is an employee and is, generally, the first line of response to events indicating emergency conditions.

This individual notifies the Class B or Class A operator and appropriate emergency responders when necessary. Not all employees of the facility are necessarily Class C operators.

  • Situations posing an immediate danger or threat to the public or to the environment and that require immediate action.
  • Appropriate response to alarms caused by spills or releases from an UST system.
  • Operation of emergency shut-off systems.
  • Reporting of leaks, spills and releases.
