What are the requirements to be an operations supervisor at more than one outlet?

To be an operations supervisor at more than one outlet, the requirement to be a designated employee, have a posted phone number, and ensure that the phone is answered is essential. This requirement emphasizes the importance of clear communication and accountability in LPG operations. A designated employee serves as the point of contact for safety and operational issues, ensuring that there is always a knowledgeable individual available to address any concerns or emergencies that may arise.

Having a posted phone number allows for immediate access to this supervisor, thus enhancing the response time in critical situations. The stipulation regarding the phone being answered ensures that there is no delay in communication, further reinforcing safety protocols in the operations. This requirement underscores the NFPA’s emphasis on safety and operational integrity, which are crucial for managing multiple outlets effectively.

Other choices, such as having a college degree, having five years of experience in gas operations, or completing a supervisory training course, may contribute to an individual's competence in the role but do not specifically address the practical need for communication and response capabilities essential for supervising multiple locations simultaneously.
