Ohio's LP-gas rule links dispensing attendants to the personnel rules in NFPA 58 section 4.4. That reference is part of Ohio's changes to the adopted fire-code chapter. Check both the state rule and the adopted code for your work. A course name alone does not show that a person meets those rules.
Read the Ohio change with the code
The filed rule took effect November 20, 2025. Item 9 changes section 6106.1 to add the NFPA 58 section 4.4 reference for attendants.
The rule adopts the 2021 International Fire Code chapter with Ohio changes. The amendment is not the whole chapter. It does not list approved CETP or PEP courses.
Check the course before you book it
Give the State Fire Marshal or local fire official the course outline and the work your employee will do. Ask what proof of training and skills applies to that work.
As an office step, keep the reply with the course record. Check older staff checklists against the current rule before you reuse them. This page does not set a refresher period or cover every rule for drivers and other propane jobs.
Where do CETP and PEP fit?
PERC is moving CETP content into PEP learning paths. Check the path for the work your crew does. For more context, see CETP and PEP and how often CETP training is required.
Put the office policy in writing
Once you know the training needed, put your office process in writing. State who checks due dates and where staff keep the records. See the Policies & Procedures manual. A manual does not replace training, practical skills or required credentials.

Propane training and safety rules in Ohio
Ohio changed its LP-gas fire-code rule in November 2025. Start with the current rule before you rely on an older training checklist.
What the rule says
- OAC 1301:7-7-61 incorporates chapter 61 of the 2021 International Fire Code with Ohio changes. The current rule took effect November 20, 2025.
- The permit amendment covers stationary installations with storage containers over 2,000 gallons individual water capacity, all rooftop ASME container installations, and multiple containers over 4,000 gallons aggregate water capacity.
- The filed amendment is not a course-approval list. Do not use it alone to decide whether a training program meets every duty that applies to your crew.

What this means for you
Put the current rule date on your office checklist. Ask the fire official which permits and worker qualifications apply to the tasks at your location. Keep the reply with the relevant course and skills records. Do not treat wording from a retired rule as current approval.
