At Ferrellgas, safety is a part of everything we do. Every Ferrellgas location takes part in the Ferrellgas Quality Review, which is a model safety program for the propane industry. During the annual Quality Review process, approximately 240 safety and operational items are reviewed at each of our retail locations to help ensure the safety of our Employees, Customers, and the communities we are proud to serve.

Before ever delivering propane to you, our Employees begin the safety process through extensive classroom and hands-on training. When you become a Ferrellgas Customer, our technicians will complete the pre-fill tank inspection, a safety and operational check of your outside propane system, as well as a FerrellMeter® leak-detection system check to ensure that your propane system is functioning as it should.

At your request, we can also provide propane safety training for you, either in your home or at your business. Our propane professionals can teach you, your family, and employees to safely handle propane using many of the same materials we’ve used to help train hundreds of fire departments all across the United States.

Call before you dig

Before you dig on your property, please call the Diggers Hotline (811) to help you find the underground lines of all types located on your property.

The size and location of your gas system may require compliance with federal, state, or local laws. For example, underground lines that run under a public place may require that you register with the Digger’s Hotline/”One-Call” Program in your state. Consult the authorities in your state and the Office of Pipeline Safety.
