Product Description

Nevada A/B operator training:

In Nevada, UST (Underground Storage Tank) A/B operator training is designed to ensure operators are knowledgeable about the proper operation 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 management and regulatory compliance of UST systems, while Class B operators handle daily operational tasks.

The training covers essential topics such as leak detection, spill prevention, and emergency response, ensuring operators are well-prepared to manage any issues that may arise.

Additionally, operators must complete training every three years to stay current with the latest regulations and best practices.

Nevada UST Class A/B Operator Training

This course is designed to address the Class A and Class B underground storage tank operator-training requirements administered by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). For official state guidance, visit the Nevada UST Operator Training page (https://ndep.nv.gov/land/underground-storage-tanks/operator-training).

Why This Training Matters
Nevada requires each regulated UST system or group of systems at a facility to have designated and properly trained Class A, Class B, and Class C operators. Class A operators oversee overall operation, regulatory compliance, resources, and personnel, while Class B operators implement daily operation, maintenance, and recordkeeping requirements.
This training helps operators:
• Understand Nevada and federal UST requirements
• Maintain spill, overfill, corrosion, and release-prevention equipment
• Monitor release-detection systems and required testing
• Respond appropriately to alarms, spills, and suspected releases
• Maintain operator-designation, training, and compliance records
• Understand Class C operator training and emergency-response responsibilities
Properly trained operators help protect Nevada’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.
