Propane Operator Certification Program

Operating the propane burnisher requires compliance with certain safety regulations, particularly NFPA #58, the National Fire Protection Association Standard for the storage and handling of liquified propane gas. NFPA #58 requires that as of January 1, 1993, all personnel employed in the handling of propane gas are to be trained in its proper handing and operating procedures. It also requires them to carry a written certification from their employer or training supervisor to attest to such training. NFPA is a non-profit organization that was established in 1896 to create fire protection standards. Today, it is nationally recognized as the final authority in fire safety related matters. In fact NFPA #58 regulations have been adopted by virtually all municipalities and stand as the basis for the propane gas safety regulations (see appendix #1 NFPA 58).

In response to NFPA #58 as well as the other regulatory standards governing the design, manufacture, and use of propane powered equipment, Amano Pioneer Eclipse has developed a certification program for operators of propane powered Floor Machines.

Amano Pioneer Eclipse, working with an international conglomerate of authorized distributors and repair centers, offers this instructor guided video operator certification program to anyone using a propane powered floor machine. Special discounts are available to end-users who purchase a Amano Pioneer Eclipse propane floorcare machine. For dates and information on an upcoming Propane Operator Certification Program in your area, contact your local Amano Pioneer Eclipse Authorized Distributor or Amano Pioneer Eclipse Customer Service at 1-800-367-3550 (outside the US call +13363728080).


Floor Treatment and Maintenance

Although we recognize that nearly every floor is different, with its own unique characteristics and challenges, there are many similarities across various floor equipment, chemical products, materials, environments, and maintenance cycles.

Amano Pioneer Eclipse's technical associates have over 200 years aggregate experience in the floorcare industry. Utilizing this tremendous wealth of knowledge and practical wisdom, P/E has developed an extensive array of floorcare treatment and maintenance training tools to assist the end-user including instructional videos, customizable wall charts and manuals, inspection forms, troubleshooting tips and guidelines, instructor-guided safety courses, and instructional manuals covering nearly every area of floorcare maintenance.

For more specific information regarding floor treatment and maintenance procedural training, contact the your local Amano Pioneer Eclipse Authorized Distributor or Amano Pioneer Eclipse Customer Service at 1-800-367-3550 (outside the US call +13363728080).


Safe Floors

The primary objective of any floor safety program is accident prevention. That accidents can result in lawsuits, sometimes endangering the financial well-being of a business, is also of major concern.

In recent years, slip/fall lawsuits have increased in both frequency and in the amount of monetary award. The business owner, the cleaning contractor, the floor finish manufacturer and the floorcare supply distributor can all be held liable, and often are. As a consequence, the cost of liability insurance is reducing corporate profitability on many fronts and forcing some smaller companies and municipalities to either close their doors or risk continuing without insurance.

In response to these issues, Amano Pioneer Eclipse has developed several training aids to support your efforts towards accident prevention and implementation of an effective floor safety program. For more specific information on these floor safety training aids, contact your local Amano Pioneer Eclipse Authorized Distributor or Amano Pioneer Eclipse Customer Service at 1-800-367-3550 (outside the US call +13363728080).
