Propane Safety Pro (PSP) writes safety manuals and plans from the facts you send on our intake form.
What connects National Interstate to propane?
Role: insurer.
Markets liquid propane distribution coverage through an open broker network. See the source.
The public LP application names several group insurers. Its PSP checkbox refers to the federal Pre-Employment Screening Program, not Propane Safety Pro. Requests for existing manuals or maintenance documents are conditional as described on the form.
What does National Interstate publicly ask or describe?
| Public statement | What kind of statement? | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Seeks operators with three or more units and offers loss-control support; no named manual mandate stated. | Service or program description | See the source Energy Transportation |
| LP application requests a copy of the written safety program and asks about written procedures, emergency plans, training, leak-test documentation and out-of-gas policy. | Application question / attachment request | See the source PDF page 4 of 7, SAFETY section |
| Submission checklist requests applicable ACORDs, driver/vehicle data, recent MVRs, five-year loss runs and contents pages for any manuals you have; a maintenance copy if you have one. | Published program condition | See the source PDF page 1, SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS; page 3, MAINTENANCE PROGRAM |
A question on an application does not mean every answer must be yes. A request to attach a document, a program rule and a safety tip each mean something different.
Which PSP manuals could help you prepare?
National Interstate’s public LP application asks about safety procedures and requests a written safety program.
These PSP resources are options to talk over with your agent:
| Preparation topic | PSP resource | Scope to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Company policies and written safety procedures | Policies and Procedures Manual | Ask which company procedures need to be written or updated for your actual work. |
| Training and supporting records | Insurance-renewal document checklist | Organize completed training, service and equipment records separately; a manual cannot create past records. |
| Emergency planning | Emergency Action Plan | Discuss a plan for your operation; confirm legal applicability and the provider’s requested scope. |
| Plant operating and maintenance procedures | Operations and Maintenance Manual | A facility manual differs from a vehicle-maintenance program; confirm which is requested. Completed inspections remain separate evidence. |
Other documents may apply to your work or plant, such as a DOT security plan, Fire Safety Analysis or HazCom program. See what a propane company must have in writing for the DOT, fire-code, OSHA and insurer questions. A manual does not replace training, inspections or records.
How do you prepare your document list?
- Ask your insurance agent or broker for the current application, any papers to attach and any written safety advice.
- Match each request to a procedure, manual or record you already have. Mark the gaps. Never back-fill records for work that did not happen.
- Decide which gaps need a written program, and ask Propane Safety Pro about writing those.
- Have the right people review the documents and put them to work.
Is Propane Safety Pro connected to National Interstate?
No. Propane Safety Pro is independent of National Interstate. This page does not imply a partnership, endorsement or approval, and nothing here requires you to buy a Propane Safety Pro product. A manual does not guarantee coverage, insurer acceptance or compliance. Your agent and the insurer decide coverage. Government authorities decide which rules apply to you.
What else should you know?
Does National Interstate require a Propane Safety Pro manual?
No. The public sources cited here do not require you to buy a Propane Safety Pro product. Ask your agent which written programs and records apply. You are responsible for true answers on your application and for real, completed records.
Does an application question make something a policy condition?
No. A yes-or-no question, a request to attach a document, a description of preferred risks and a safety tip are different things. Your agent can tell you which conditions apply to your policy.
Can Propane Safety Pro help with the paperwork?
Yes. Propane Safety Pro writes safety programs from your company’s own information. Agree on the list of documents with your agent first, then start the intake.
Is National Interstate available for my company?
This page does not show whether it is available in your state or for your type of business. Ask your insurance agent or broker which insurer and program would issue your policy.
