OSHA and DOT require all employees who "are affected" by high-pressure cylinders to receive "function specific" training to the HAZMAT within 90 days of employment and retraining every 3 years afterward. 

Businesses that operate cylinder filling stations are required by OSHA to provide formal, function-specific training to employees operating filling equipment.  Topics include pre-fill inspection, proper techniques, system maintenance, and emergency procedures.  As fill systems vary greatly, this course is customized to specific fill stations' operational procedures.  Course times vary from 1 - 3 hours.  (PSI-PCI has a full Training Compliance Kit available to current PSI-PCI trained inspectors who are authorized to use it in the training of shop personnel or others who have need of it.)
