Our Mission

Providing leadership, vision, and resources to ongoing safety and training efforts is one of the most important and challenges confronting the propane industry. From across the nation propane professionals  have come together to guide and support the industry's efforts to achieve the  industry's vision of establishing a high public confidence in the safety and value of propane that include such strategies as:

• Education and Training
• Leadership Resources
• Communication
• Information Technologies

The Internet provides a cost-effective, intelligent, interactive, fast, and widely accessible platform for the advancement of consensus and performance regarding safety and training within the propane industry. The development of Internet-based support for a comprehensive portfolio of strategic activities, therefore, is a top priority. With the outstanding vision of the men and women who work in and serve the propane industry, this website will evolve into a world-class online resource that will support the industry's stated vision.

As a clean, high-energy fuel with low impact, growing application and increasing preference, the health and safety of propane workers, consumers, and the general public are of paramount importance to the propane industry.  

The propane industry envisions that, by 2010, propane's exemplary safety record will be recognized as a major industry asset and a catalyst for increased consumer confidence and benefit. This website provides resources to industry members and safety-responders that facilitate the industry's efforts to reduce accidents and incidents, improve safety awareness, enhance the propane workforce, improve regulatory confidence and provide industry and externals with resources to increase consumer confidence. 70 or more distinct activities have been identified as part of a comprehensive safety and training strategy and all these activities will eventually be reflected in this evolving website.

Over 18 billion gallons of propane was sold by approximately 4,000 companies in the United States in 1997. The industry has recognized an important role for this website: This website will provide a high level of support in the industry's efforts to define and achieve safe propane practices and methodologies. The result will provide far-reaching benefit to industry, regulators, emergency services, consumers, and the public.
