PERC: Every Day Safe Program

New program gives operators practical tools for daily safety conversations and proactive risk management.

The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) unveiled its “Every Day Safe” program, a comprehensive safety toolkit designed to embed proactive safety habits into the daily routines of propane companies. Developed in partnership with industry safety experts, the initiative provides owners, managers, and trainers with ready‑to‑use resources that transform safety from a compliance checkbox into a core business priority.

At the heart of the program are customizable safety plans and a structured “daily safety conversation” guide that encourages front‑line crews to discuss hazards, review procedures, and share near‑miss stories before each shift. The toolkit also includes printable checklists, incident‑reporting templates, and short video modules that can be integrated into existing training curricula, making it easy for companies of any size to adopt a consistent safety culture.

For a sector where delivery and service operations account for the majority of workplace incidents, the timing could not be more critical. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the propane industry sees a higher-than‑average rate of injuries related to vehicle accidents and equipment handling. By fostering daily dialogue around safety, PERC aims to cut those numbers, reduce liability exposure, and ultimately improve customer confidence. Early adopters report a measurable drop in near‑miss events within the first three months of implementation.

Companies looking to jump‑start their safety programs can complement the “Every Day Safe” resources with platforms like PropaneSafetyPro.com, which offers additional training modules and compliance tracking tools. Together, these solutions give propane professionals a clear roadmap to protect their crews, safeguard their assets, and keep the fuel flowing safely all year long.
