BACKGROUND
14 CFR part 139.321(e)(1) requires training in accordance with .321 (b)(6), i.e., [f]ueling personnel must be trained in fire safety.   To accomplish this, "[a]t least one supervisor with each fueling agent shall have completed an aviation fuel training course in fire safety which is acceptable to the Administrator. Part 139.321 (e) (2) requires that [a]ll other employees who fuel aircraft, accept fuel shipments, or otherwise handle fuel shall receive at least on-the-job training in fire safety from the supervisor trained in accordance with paragraph (e) (1) of this section. 

Several companies offer a fuel safety training course that has been reviewed and evaluated by the Federal Aviation Administration.   Guidance for developing a fuel safety training course is located on the FAA website.  http://www.faa.gov/arp/certification/index.cfm?ARPnav=cert and click on airport safety.  The following list contains the names of those companies whose courses are currently "acceptable to the Administrator."  This Certalert replaces Certalert 03-02, issued July 2, 2003.
