Site Operator Certification by TSSA
There is a legal requirement that a station operator at a fuel handling facility be trained (see Section 6.7.2 Liquid Fuels Handling Code). Fuels Safety Consultants' Site Operator Training Course fulfills this legal requirement for training.
At the present time, the Code does not require that a station operator obtain Site Operator Certification. However, we strongly recommend that all station operators complete TSSA's Site Operator certification requirements.
Upon your successful completion of the Course, you may download three Documents:
- your Certificate of Completion of the Site Operator Training Course;
- a Passport to a Site Operator Certificate of Qualification by TSSA;
- an Application for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification.
The Passport, as developed and endorsed by TSSA, is a Practical Skills Sign-off Document for your employer/supervisor to record your practical skills:
- as an attendant at a facility, including record keeping,
- in emergency procedures,
- in inspecting equipment,
- in safety procedures, and
- your knowledge of spills clean up procedures.
There is no additional fee for the Site Operator Passport, which is valid for one year from the date of issue.
If you wish to become Certified as a Site Operator by TSSA:
- prior to the expiry of your Passport,
- you must complete your Application for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification (download this form),
- complete your Passport document certifying your fulfillment of the practical skills requirements;
