Connecticut combines adopted fire-code requirements with occupational licensing for particular work. Its 2022 State Fire Prevention Code adopts NFPA 1 (2021), with state amendments. The DCP G-2 trainee requirements expressly name CETP and consider PEP equivalency for that license route. Do not apply the G-2 route to every delivery employee.
Match training to the transfer work
The state-amended Chapter 2 of the fire code references NFPA 58 (2020).[source] This page does not restate that edition’s transfer-personnel or attendance provisions; read the adopted edition. The cited state amendments add no universal delivery/plant classroom-hour list. Confirm site-specific transfer and self-service conditions with the fire marshal.[source]
For G-2 equivalent-experience applicants, DCP specifies 1,000 registered-trainee hours, related classroom instruction and additional OSHA 30 construction or equivalent trade-safety instruction.[source] These are licensing qualifications, not general bobtail-driver training requirements.
Make the file easy to use
The G-2 route requires course certificates and employer letters describing experience and employment dates, on company letterhead, signed, dated and notarized.[source] The cited fire-code amendments do not specify a universal employee-training retention period. NFPA 58 (2020) §4.4 requires initial/refresher documentation and three-year refresher training.[source] Covered hazmat work also has federal records requirements.
Where do CETP and PEP fit?
DCP lists CETP 1.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5, or equivalent classroom training, for G-2. PEP courses will be considered for equivalent training.[source] That language establishes consideration, not blanket approval of every PEP course or exemption from licensing.
Put the office policy in writing
Use the Policies & Procedures manual to distinguish transfer qualifications from trade-license qualifications and assign evidence checks. This is an office recommendation, not a substitute for training or licensing.
