Minnesota uses NFPA 58, 2017 edition, with state changes for LP-gas work. The adoption rule is the starting point, not a blanket approval of a course brand.
What the rule says
- Minnesota Rule 7511.6101 replaces fire-code chapter 61 with its own LP-gas chapter.
- Section 6101.1 incorporates NFPA 58, 2017 edition, for storage, handling, transportation, use and related equipment.
- Section 6102.1 lists Minnesota changes to the adopted standard. The adoption provision itself does not give a named-course approval or an employee renewal calendar.

What this means for you
Match each worker’s tasks to the adopted code and the state changes. Ask the fire official what proof is needed for that job before choosing a class. Keep that guidance beside the course record so the office can see why the training was chosen.
Need training for your crew?
We don't run classes. Use the trainers on our Recommended Propane Safety Experts page and contact them directly.
Keep the paper trail
Use our Policies & Procedures manual to put your written procedures in one place. Keep course records, skills checks and any required licenses alongside the procedures your crew uses. A manual does not replace training or an agency approval.
