Product Description

Nebraska A/B operator training:

In Nebraska, UST (Underground Storage Tank) A/B operator training is essential for ensuring the proper management and maintenance of UST systems.

The training is state-approved and available online, allowing operators to complete it at their own pace.

Class A operators are responsible for the overall operation and regulatory compliance of the UST systems, while Class B operators focus on the day-to-day operational tasks.

The training covers a wide range of topics, including leak detection, spill prevention, and emergency response, ensuring that operators are well-prepared to handle any issues that may arise.

Additionally, operators must be retrained every five years to stay current with the latest regulations and best practices.

Nebraska UST Class A/B Operator Training

This course is designed to meet the Class A and Class B underground storage tank operator training requirements administered by the Nebraska State Fire Marshal. For official state guidance, visit the Nebraska Underground Storage Tank Operator Training page (https://sfm.nebraska.gov/fuels-safety/operator-training).

Why This Training Matters
Nebraska requires regulated UST facilities to designate trained Class A and Class B operators. Class A operators have primary responsibility for overall operation and regulatory compliance, while Class B operators oversee daily operation, maintenance, and recordkeeping.
Nebraska Class B operators must visit each assigned facility at least weekly, remain immediately available for telephone consultation while the facility is operating, and be able to arrive onsite within two hours when contacted.
This training helps operators:
• Understand Nebraska and federal UST requirements
• Maintain spill, overfill, corrosion, and release-prevention equipment
• Monitor release-detection systems and required testing
• Conduct and document required facility visits and inspections
• Respond appropriately to alarms, spills, and suspected releases
• Maintain operator-designation, training, and compliance records
Properly trained operators help protect Nebraska’s soil, groundwater, and communities while reducing the risk of releases and regulatory violations.

Operator Overview Chapter 1

This first chapter discusses one of the most critical components of any facility: the personnel. Both the EPA and the states have regulations for operator duties and training. This chapter explains the different roles. Facilities are difficult to manage and maintain, and we learn that it's not just as simple as distributing a product, selling sodas and collecting money.

System and Components Chapter 2

It is extremely important for station personnel to know the components of a station, and how it operates, so this chapter gives a thumbnail description of the mechanics of a facility. Throughout the training, there are documents for download to help station operators perform their duties.

Release Detection Chapter 3

While every facility is different, they all have release detection, or monitoring, equipment in common. This chapter looks at the various monitoring devices, and what role an operator plays. Monitoring is important to catch leaks before they become a major headache. No operator wants to be responsible for ignoring monitoring issues resulting in a release into the environment

Release Prevention Chapter 4

In their collective wisdom, the states and the EPA mandate certain components to avoid a major spill or leak. Station operators should follow the two M’s: maintenance and monitoring. Doing both can avoid or lessen the impact of costly repairs or remediation. This chapter will help operators do just that.

Administration and Record Keeping Chapter 5

Owning and operating a UST Facility is not just about equipment and preventing releases. This chapter really dives into the other facets of UST management: registration, installation, ownership, financial requirements, paperwork, fuel delivery, reporting and closure.

Inspections and Response Chapter 6

The final chapter in our training is designed to ensure that the A/B Operator is prepared for upcoming inspections, both regulatory and in-house. We also cover the different functionality tests and how to handle these. Finally, we will discuss the appropriate response to fires, releases and other emergencies.
