This thorough 9 module UST Class A/B training curriculum has recently been added to our catalog to help educate and prepare for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Operator Exam.
The 2005 Energy Policy Act requires that all UST operators receive mandatory training regarding the operation and maintenance of UST systems.
The EPA designated three separate UST operator classes, Class A, B, and C. Each class requires training specific to the tasks they conduct. Class A operators must have the knowledge to make informed decisions when it comes to UST compliance. They also make sure their employees are fulfilling requirements regarding operation, maintenance, and recordkeeping for their UST system. Class B operators are responsible for implementing the day-to-day aspects of operating, maintaining, and recordkeeping for the UST system.
With this training program, you will learn state rules and regulations as well as class-specific operator responsibilities and training requirements in the following areas:
Reciprocity: New York DEC also accepts (by reciprocity) the following state operator training programs for Class A/B certification: Maryland, Washington
*This training is intended as a preparatory course and does not provide certification upon completion. A person can get certification if they complete the New York DEC Operator Exam: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/102202.html

OSHA cites company for workplace violations proposing a $199,996 fine for noncompliance. The U.S Department of Labor cites a South Jersey Fencing Manufacturer for continued violations, including safety, cleanliness, and lack of adequate training on hazardous chemicals.
“Jan. 9, 2018
PENNSAUKEN, NJ – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Aruvil International Inc. for multiple safety violations at its Pennsauken facility. The chain-link fencing manufacturer faces $199,996 in proposed penalties.
Agency inspectors identified violations, including inadequate lighting; lack of machine guards; failing to keep the workroom clean and dry; failing to inspect and ensure proper use of fall protection; and failing to provide effective training on hazardous chemicals in a June 2017 inspection. A prior investigation in August 2015 found similar violations.
“Aruvil International has failed to correct similar violations cited two years ago,” said OSHA Marlton Area Office Director Paula Dixon-Roderick. “To protect its workers, the employer should abate these repeatedly identified hazards.”
The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA’s role is to ensure these conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance. For more information, visit http://www.osha.gov.”
Don’t let lack of training be the cause of any workplace violations. Citations like these can be dangerous and the fines can be hefty. Make sure you stay up-to-date on all training requirements and inspection preparations.
Envicomply offers courses in Safety and Occupational Health, HAZCOM, and Environmental Compliance just to name a few. Learn about federal laws, applicable rules and regulations, how to maintain compliance on the job, and what to expect in a workplace inspection.

In July 15, 2015, “EPA published the 2015 underground storage tank regulation and the 2015 state program approval regulation. The revisions strengthen the 1988 federal underground storage tank (UST) regulations by increasing emphasis on properly operating and maintaining UST equipment. The revisions will help prevent and detect UST releases, which are a leading source of groundwater contamination. The revisions will also help ensure all USTs in the United States, including those in Indian country, meet the same minimum standards.” Click for more information on this ruling and implementation timeframes.
UST Class A/B Certification Training is currently available for the states of Washington and Maryland. Successfully completing this training will award a certificate granting UST Class A/B certification.

EPA cites Longview, WA, Oil company for spill prevention and control violations. The settlement agreement includes both fines and installation of an upgraded spill detection system.
“(Seattle) February 2, 2017 – EPA has settled with Wilson Oil Inc., (doing business as Wilcox & Flegel Oil Co.) for alleged Clean Water Act spill prevention violations at its Longview Terminal facility in Longview, Washington.
EPA determined after a 2015 inspection that the company had failed to implement an adequate Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan and lacked adequate secondary containment for large oil storage tanks in one of the Terminal’s tank farms. Since the inspection, the company constructed new secondary containment for that tank farm and upgraded their SPCC plan.
As part of the settlement, the Company will pay a $44,069 civil penalty and will implement a Supplemental Environmental Project worth approximately $125,000.”
