How often must Class A/B operator training be renewed?

Class A/B operator training must be renewed every three years. This renewal period ensures that operators stay current with the latest regulations, technologies, and best practices related to underground storage tanks (USTs). Regular training updates help operators maintain a thorough understanding of procedures that safeguard the environment and public safety, addressing potential issues such as fuel leaks and proper emergency responses. By requiring renewal every three years, the program emphasizes the importance of continuous education and adaptation to evolving standards in the industry. This time frame strikes a balance between allowing operators to gain experience while also ensuring that they periodically refresh their knowledge to remain compliant with state and federal requirements.
