What kind of license is generally required to handle and transport propane?

The requirement for handling and transporting propane typically falls under the LP Gas Technician Certification. This certification is specifically designed to ensure that technicians have the necessary knowledge and skills related to the safe handling, storage, and transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which includes propane. Certified technicians are trained in safety practices, equipment handling, and regulations governing propane to mitigate risks associated with its use.

While a Hazardous Materials Transportation License may seem relevant due to the classification of propane as a hazardous material, it is not the primary certification required for technicians involved in the direct handling and service of propane systems. Instead, the LP Gas Technician Certification focuses precisely on the unique aspects of propane and related equipment. Other licenses, such as a Recreational Vehicle License or a Heavy Equipment Operator License, do not pertain to propane safety and handling requirements at all.
