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 is responsible for responding to alarms or other indications of emergencies caused by spills or releases from UST systems. 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. This individual typically and at a minimum must be trained to:

1. Control or monitor the dispensing or sale of regulated substances, and
2. Take action as the initial response to emergencies:

• Situations posing an immediate danger or threat to the public or to the environment and that require immediate action.
• Alarms caused by spills or releases from a UST system.
