LEADERS IN PROPANE SAFETY
Working Together for a Safer Propane Industry
Propane education and safety training has always been one of the core goals of the Illinois Propane Gas Association (IPGA). Our work has made Illinois one of the leaders in propane safety.
2023 Safety Meetings
This round of meeting will be a Town Hall style meeting that will discuss changes at the Association and feedback on what we can do for our members. I encourage all Managers, Customer Service, Bobtail Drivers and Service Techs to attend.
Dinner will begin at 6:15pm and the meeting will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Urbana will be daytime meeting with lunch at 12:00pm and meeting will begin at 1:00pm.
FREE CONTINUING EDUCATION
Thanks to IPERC continuing to approve the grant request submitted by IPGA to offset the cost of the Continuing Education and Safety Meetings, Illinois propane marketers who are actively participating in the IPERC assessment program may attend CETP, IPGA advanced classes, and safety meetings at no charge. Your IPERC dollars cover registration, lunch and classroom materials only. Individual companies are responsible for travel, additional meals and lodging.
