A propane dealer safety manual records how your company handles delivery, plant work, service, training and safety records. On this site, that day-to-day book is the Policies and Procedures manual. It should identify responsible people and reflect your equipment and work. Propane Safety Pro writes it from your intake; buying the manual does not establish that employees are trained or that your operation complies.
Prepare your company document
- List the work you perform: delivery, bulk storage, cylinder filling, service and installation. Mark sections that do not apply.
- Name the safety lead and each section owner. Gather current equipment details, approved procedures and emergency contacts.
- Compare the draft with actual work. Have your designated safety reviewer check applicable rules and the code edition adopted for your location.
- Approve the current version, explain relevant procedures to employees and keep training records separately. Review after equipment, staff or procedure changes.

Questions and answers
Is a dealer safety manual the same as a code book?
No. A code book states requirements. Your manual describes assigned duties and procedures for your operation. Confirm applicable rules and adopted code editions with your designated reviewer.
Which sections does the PSP Policies and Procedures manual cover?
The product page lists safety policy and ownership, deliveries, plant and bulk storage, service and installation, training documentation, emergency contacts and recordkeeping.
Does this replace a DOT hazmat security plan?
No. The security plan addresses transportation security risks. Determine whether your operation needs that separate plan; the two documents serve different purposes.
What if we already have a safety binder?
Compare it with your current work and flag outdated sections. Ask Propane Safety Pro whether a refresh or rewrite fits, rather than assuming you need a new book.

General information, not legal advice. A purchased manual does not certify compliance. Confirm requirements for your operation with your designated safety reviewer.
