These requirements were established to ensure minimum levels of knowledge, experience and performance by individuals who install, modify, remove and inspect regulated storage tank systems and facilities. To become permanently certified, a person must first submit an accurate and complete application.
Information explaining the requirements accompany each application.
Completed applications are submitted to central office for review. Upon approval, a letter is issued informing the individual that he or she is then eligible to take the Storage Tank Installer and Inspector Certification Examination. Those testing will be required to pass an administrative examination and at least one technical examination before being granted permanent certification. No one will be permitted to perform tank handling or formal inspection activities without permanent certification, unless they are being directly supervised by someone on site who holds permanent certification. This is designed to allow an applicant to tailor certification to his or her areas of expertise including the installation, modification, removal and inspection of underground and aboveground storage tanks.
