Wyoming law names the current edition of NFPA 58 as the standard for LP-gas installations, yet exempts liquefied petroleum gas facilities from that part of the fire-safety statute. Those facts do not settle federal transportation duties. Propane Safety Pro (PSP), a manual-writing service, turns your operating information into manuals that keep facility, people and transport questions separate.
| Written item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Company policies and procedures | Who follows and maintains company procedures? |
| Facility operating and maintenance procedures | Do the cited rules apply to this facility and work? |
| DOT security plan | Do the federal material, quantity and transport conditions apply? |
Which Wyoming rules and sources should we consult?
Wyoming's Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety is created by statute; the State Fire Marshal establishes its administrative policy and inspects facilities or installations upon request by the owner. Sources: W.S. 35-9-101 and 35-9-107, read November 9, 2026.
The standards for LP-gas installations are the current edition of NFPA 58 and ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54; where they conflict with the International Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 58 and NFPA 54 control. The statute prints no edition year, so confirm the edition with the State Fire Marshal before a manual names one. Source: W.S. 35-9-106(d), read November 9, 2026.
W.S. 35-9-106 through 35-9-117 do not apply to liquefied petroleum gas facilities, among other listed properties, though the State Fire Marshal may assist an owner or operator on request. The sections read do not define those facilities, so ask the department how the exception reaches your plant. Source: W.S. 35-9-118, read November 9, 2026.
When does a DOT security plan apply under 49 CFR 172.800?
Transportation requires a separate federal applicability check. The security-plan rule considers the material, quantity and transport activity; large bulk quantities of Division 2.1 material are one listed category. The definitions and exceptions matter, so a state fire-code standard and vehicle capacity alone cannot settle the question. Source: 49 CFR §172.800, read November 9, 2026.
A covered plan addresses risk assessment, personnel security, unauthorized access and en route security, with at least annual review and updates when circumstances change. Source: 49 CFR §172.802, read November 9, 2026. Use the national DOT Hazmat Security Plan page for that distinct book.
Which company procedures keep the records separate?
A Wyoming manual should record which NFPA 58 edition each site was built to and any written answer from the State Fire Marshal or local authority. As a practical filing choice, keep those answers apart from employee records, then connect both to the procedures that use them. This is advice for making the file useful, not an extra state retention rule.
Our Policies & Procedures manual puts the company's way of working into writing. It does not replace a State Fire Marshal plan review, a local permit or a motor-fuel license.
How do PEP and CETP relate to training in Wyoming?
This site has no Wyoming training answer yet; see the state training guides. The Title 35 sections cited on this page name no CETP or PEP course and no LP-gas installer certificate, so ask the State Fire Marshal and any local authority what training evidence they expect. Source context: W.S. 35-9-106 through 35-9-118, read November 9, 2026.
CETP means Certified Employee Training Program; PEP means PERC Education Program. PERC's move to job-based paths is a program description, not a ruling on Wyoming qualifications. Source: PERC FAQ, read November 8, 2026. Meet Safety Pro lists trainers; the separate DOT training page concerns federal training records.
Which facility operating and maintenance procedures apply?
Use the facility's equipment and applicable adopted rules as the basis for its procedures. Our Operations & Maintenance manual is the facility book, distinct from the company policy manual. Plan review applies before new construction, remodeling or installing aboveground flammable or combustible fuel storage tanks for the building and facility types W.S. 35-9-108(a) lists, including public and private aboveground fuel dispensing facilities, subject to the listed exceptions and 35-9-118, and the department's plan-review page lists an LPG Above Ground Storage Tank Checklist; record whether a review covered each tank. Sources: W.S. 35-9-108 and plan review page, read November 9, 2026. This guide does not decide every facility's O&M obligations.
How does a written manual relate to truck and field records?
A motor-fuel dealer license answers a different question from who documented a delivery check. The Propane Safety App supports plant, tank and cathodic-protection records, plus training notifications. Capture tools include photos, location, dates and signatures. The office still checks findings and assigns repair follow-up. Full Tank Spotter adds service scheduling and work orders; those service functions belong to the broader product. Used with written procedures, the records help you show inspectors documented, dated work. The national Safety App page explains the wider workflow.
How can we request the written books for our operation?
A company rulebook, an applicable DOT security plan and the facility O&M book cover different parts of the operation. Bill or Kay can provide one written quote for the books that fit your work. Ask Bill or Kay for a written quote.
What else should a Wyoming propane company ask?
Which NFPA 58 edition does Wyoming adopt? The statute says the current edition and prints no year. Confirm the edition with the State Fire Marshal. Source: W.S. 35-9-106(d), read November 9, 2026.
Does Wyoming license propane motor-fuel dealers? Yes. Alternative fuels include liquefied petroleum gas or propane, and each alternative fuel dealer obtains an annual license from the Department of Transportation. Sources: W.S. 39-17-301 and 39-17-306, read November 9, 2026.
Can a Wyoming fire-code standard replace the federal security-plan check? No. Apply the federal material, quantity and transport conditions separately. Source: §172.800, read November 9, 2026.
Who reports a Wyoming fire to the State Fire Marshal? The county fire warden or local fire chief investigates, notifies the State Fire Marshal and furnishes a written statement within one week of the fire. Source: W.S. 35-9-109, read November 9, 2026.
Who wrote this guide, and which sources support it?
Official links and read dates appear beside the relevant claims. Read dates are not effective dates; confirm current requirements with the authority for the location and duties.
