Over the years, our company has been beset by ever-increasing government regulations especially for companies like us who transport propane and are classified as a hazardous material shipper. These regulations have placed a financial burden on our company & industry as a whole. Today we are compelled to comply with:
US Department of Energy Reporting
CT Office of Policy and Management Reporting
New NFPA 58 Employee Training Requirements
OSHA compliance,
New Right to Know laws
Tier II reporting
Increased Truck Maintenance Programs
Hazardous Material regulations
Commercial Driver Rules
Certified Employee Training
Gas Check Training
Federal Pipeline Safety Regulation-DPUC compliance
Underwriting Insurance Requirements
New Homeland Security Planning and training post 9/11
Compliance with the list above, are now fixed costs to our company operation. To offset these costs, we are now sharing these costs with our customers at time of fuel delivery. This is not a government fee or tax. It is a modest charge to fund the growing cost of company operations.
