Safety First! Wayman Talks Propane Safety

On Saturday, October 29th 2012, Wayman Oil Company, in conjunction with Mulvane Fire Department, hosted several area fire departments including Derby Fire, Sedgwick County Fire, Udall, and Sumner County Fire Districts for in-service training related to our facility and the propane industry. We care about the safety of our customers first and foremost and want to educate the safest precautions when using propane to heat homes.

The above agencies respond to our facility and to the residences of our customers in the event of a propane emergency, so we felt compelled to educate the responders on the operation of safety devices used in the propane industry. This included mechanical safety devices on our tanks, our trucks and in our facility. Additionally, we discussed our safety plan for the facility and gave the responders an idea of what they could expect from our safety-trained employees in the event of an emergency. This training gave these emergency responders the opportunity to ask questions, get immediate answers, and also allowed them to get an up-close look at what a safe, controlled environment should entail.

We hope the safety training will help if there are future occurances and are proud to have had this opportunity to get involved with effective propane emergency response. We are honored to work with so many great Kansas Fire Departments. Their protection in the event of a propane emergency brings a great sense of security to all.
