TOPIC: 	Fuel Safety Training - Update	

CHANGE:  ADDITIONS TO LIST OF ACCEPTABLE TRAINERS
BACKGROUND

14 CFR section139.321(e) (1) requires training of fueling personnel in fire safety
in accordance with the requirements of that section (139.321 (b)(6).   To accomplish this, "[a]t least one supervisor with each fueling agent must have completed an aviation fuel training course in fire safety that is authorized by the Administrator.”  Part 139.321 (e) (2) requires that “[a]ll other employees who fuel aircraft, accept fuel shipments, or otherwise handle fuel must receive at least initial on-the-job training and recurrent instruction every 24 consecutive calendar months in fire safety from the supervisor trained in accordance with paragraph (e) (1) of this section.”  Please note that Recurrent Training in Fire Safety is now required. 

Any person or company submitting an Aviation Fuel Training Course in Fire Safety for review for national recognition must follow the guidelines available at the website.  Guidance for developing a fire safety training course is located on the FAA website.     http://www.faa.gov/arp/safety
Then go to Guidelines for Submitting a Fueling Safety Program.

The Fire Safety Training courses are listed in the following order:
Comprehensive courses that include subject areas beyond those listed in Part 139.321 (e.g., fueling procedures for various types of aircraft; use of current or advanced fuel technologies and equipment, other airside products such as oils, de-icing and hydraulic fluids, various lubricants).

Courses that address the seven items listed in Part 139.321 (b).

All courses listed in the Certalert are acceptable to the Administrator. However, Fueling Supervisors who plan to attend a recurrent Fire Safety Training course should select one of the asterisked companies.  These companies have comprehensive programs that offer preparation not only in the technical areas but also in techniques for delivering the safety-first message to the employees whom they supervise.   In addition, these courses are more challenging for supervisors whose fueling facilities are located on airports serving a large variety of air carrier aircraft.

This Certalert replaces Certalert 04-15, issued November 24, 2004.
