Propane, a flammable substance and one of several constituent gases that make up Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), is the LP-Gas most frequently encountered by emergency services while responding to industrial, commercial, and consumer incidents.

The Propane Emergencies Program offers training materials with lifesaving information for the response sector. The propane program was created specifically for the emergency services to protect their personnel at propane incidents at fixed facilities or in transportation.

Among the training materials available online are 20 complete propane incident scenarios. Each full scenario includes critical responder personal protection information. An "instructor's workshop" component features an eLibrary, general training tips and adult-specific training tips, changes and corrections to the program, and methods for presenting it in 4-, 8-, and 24-hour formats. Additional program materials have a nominal charge.

Intended to be useful for fire and hazmat responders as well as EMS, rescue squad, emergency management, and law enforcement members, the training materials can be accessed at http://www.propanesafety.com, the website of the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC).
