The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) offers a number of training and certification services related to fuels safety in Ontario.

A fuels safety technician is a certified professional who performs a variety of tasks, including the installation, service and maintenance, for various types of equipment that operate on gaseous fuels, fuel oil and compressed gas, as set out in Ontario Regulation 215/01: Fuel Industry Certificates and all associated regulations. A petroleum mechanic is a certified professional who performs work on petroleum equipment as set out in Ontario Regulation 216/01 and all associated regulations.

To find a TSSA accredited training provider for any of the TSSA regulated fuels certificates please see Training Providers.

View the following policies and procedures for more information on classes and certification procedures:

  • Industrial Maintenance Technician Policies and Procedures
  • Petroleum Mechanic Certification Policies and Procedures

 

 Information regarding the Petroleum Mechanic Certification Program during COVID-19

Notice to: Accredited Liquid Fuels Upgrade Training Providers, Petroleum Mechanic 1 (PM1),
Petroleum Mechanic 2 (PM2), Petroleum Mechanic 3 (PM3), Petroleum Mechanic 4 (PM4),
Petroleum Mechanic Helper (PMH), and Site Operators (SO) (under Ontario Regulation 216/01)


Be advised the Director of Fuels Safety in Ontario will permit Petroleum Mechanics whose certificates
expire beginning March 16, 2020 to renew their certificates under Ontario Regulation 216/01 (Certification
of Petroleum Equipment Mechanics) without having completed the continuous education requirements
mandated by the Director’s Requirement FS-230-17, so long as the certificate holders renew their
certificates with TSSA prior to their date of expiry.


In addition, certificate holders who are permitted to renew their certificates under this exception will be
required to complete their outstanding continuing education requirements, and submit proof of completion
to the Director, within 120 days from the date that social distancing requirements and the State of
Emergency is lifted by the Government of Ontario.


Please be advised that Petroleum Mechanics who wish to continue to work must still renew their
certificates before their date of expiry. This is mandated by Ontario Regulation 216/01:
Subsection 5(1): An application to renew a certificate shall be made to the director and shall be
accompanied by the fee set out by the designated administrative authority.


Subsection 5(4): If a mechanic fails to renew his or her certificate before it expires, the
mechanics shall not work as a mechanic after the date of expiry of the certificate…


Background:
In response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Technical Standards and Safety
Authority (“TSSA”), is taking precautionary measures to protect our employees, partners and customers.
Recertification training and continuous education may require certificate holders to attend in-class training
sessions, which may not comply with the social distancing guidelines; therefore, the requirements have
been suspended for a period of time.
