Indian Country Class C Operator Training:
Indian Country UST Class C operator training is essential for individuals responsible for Underground Storage Tank (UST) systems' day-to-day operation, especially in emergencies. This training ensures operators can recognize and respond to alarms, spills, and other potential hazards associated with UST systems.
PASS offers a comprehensive UST Class C operator training program. The course is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, allowing operators to complete it online at their own pace. It covers critical topics such as emergency response procedures, spill prevention, and regulatory compliance.
The importance of UST Class C operator training cannot be overstated. Properly trained Class C operators are the first line of defense in preventing environmental contamination and ensuring the facility's safety. They are crucial in maintaining compliance with state and federal regulations, conducting regular inspections, and responding promptly to any issues. By completing this training, operators help protect public health and the environment from potential hazards associated with UST systems.
The PASS UST Class C training course is summarized in four chapters. The course utilizes a combination of text, images, and narration to create a multi-faceted learning experience for various learning styles. For maximum retention, each chapter is followed by a short quiz. If the student answers a quiz question incorrectly, they are automatically redirected to the part of the course that covered that information. The student is then given another opportunity to answer the question. This reflexive quizzing model ensures comprehension of the course material and reinforces learner retention.
Once a student has completed all chapters and quizzes (approximately 30 minutes), we will provide the student with a training certificate. They will be directed to complete the Orientation Checklist with their manager or Class A/B operator. This checklist must be completed on-site because it covers information specific to the facility.
**Both documents are required to be considered a Class C Operator!**
