RESIDENTIAL FUEL TANK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A data collection system for the management of a variety of safety related inspections and documentation related to requirements, regulations and best practice within the retail-supply side of the propane industry is described. The system is especially useful for identifying and cataloguing corrective action maintenance requirements such as tank inspections, regulator replacements and recalls. Another benefit of the system is to identify inspections that are incomplete or incorrect and thus facilitating targeted retraining of technicians that focusses safety related issues. The system provides the propane dealer with information from an entire portfolio of inspection data in order to implement a process of compliance with existing regulation.
