Top Ways to Promote Safety at Your Propane Company
Tip 1: Remember to Mail Your Annual Duty to Warn
You already know that propane is a safe and dependable energy option for both residential and commercial property owners. But as a propane marketer, the most important thing you can do for your customers is to make sure they are aware of safety guidelines and proper usage techniques. The first step to getting started is sending an annual Duty to Warn safety mailing. You can send your safety mailing in-house or through an expert provider.
Tip 2: Maintain Records of Your Duty to Warn Mailings
It is inevitable that mishaps can occur in the propane business. If this happens within your business, you should have proof that you have been sending Duty to Warn mailings each year to significantly reduce your liability. Many propane companies find it helpful that P3 Duty to Warn keeps records on file for years when it comes to when and where propane safety mailings were sent.

Tip 3: Train Your Employees to Promote Safety to Customers
Safety conversations should happen year-round, no matter the season—meaning they should take place more often than during your annual company meeting or when onboarding new hires. It’s important to train your employees, including technicians, delivery drivers, and customer service representatives, to share safety tips and general awareness information every time they interact with your customers.
