Certication to work on petroleum systems is required in most jurisdictions across Canada includ-ing working on Federal Land. The CPCA certication program combines theoretical training, exams and on the job practical experience working with a petroleum mechanic holding the appropriate license. The hours of practical experience vary for each license (1000 hours for PM1, 2000 hours for PM2 and 500 hours for PM3). Once an individual completes all the requirements for certication, they can apply to CPCA for their license. CPCA training utilizes a blended learning method combining home study material with online tools and in-class review sessions with quali-ﬁed instructors. The home study course is self-led; students can study the material on their own time with each course taking an average of forty hours to complete. CPCA students also have access to our online learning platform with tutorials for tank installation, piping, dispenser maintenance and activities that challenge the student based on what they have learned throughout the course.THE PATH TO CERTIFICATIONTo start the training process, you need to ﬁrst obtain the Petroleum Mechanic Helper (or PMH) certiﬁca-tion. The PMH is a prerequisite to PM1, PM2, or PM3. This enables you to then work under a licensed Petro-leum Mechanic to gain your practi-cal experience / ﬁeld work required for certiﬁcation. You only obtain the license(s) based on the work you are doing – for example, service techni-cians will need to obtain PMH and PM1 certiﬁcation, while an individu-al working on underground systems (e.g., installing storage tanks) need PMH and PM2 certiﬁcation. Students combine their theoretical training, exams and on the job train-ing under a licensed PM to gain the necessary skills. The hours of practi-cal experience vary for each license. Once an individual completes the re-quirements, they can apply to CPCA for their Petroleum Mechanic license.The Path to Certification

JUNE 2022 • CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR • 5 The Path to Certification What you need to know to become acertied Petroleum Mechanic by CPCAREVIEW & EXAM Students are provided with a one day in-class course review with a certiﬁed instruc-tor. The CPCA certiﬁcation exam is written following the review session. Review & Exam sessions are scheduled through-out the year (based on demand) and pre-registration for the sessions is required. Students that are enrolled in a course are notiﬁed of upcoming sessions in advance. Students are encouraged to enroll in cours-es early so that they are prepared for their exam. Ensuring you are enrolled also helps us determine our schedules.TRADE EXPERIENCE LOGBOOKThe CPCA provides a Trade Experience logbook developed to be used by the train-ee as a permanent record of their practi-cal experience as they gain the necessary skills in accordance with the CPCA cur-riculum and license scope. The logbook is very useful in assisting the trainee in keeping a detailed record of their practi-cal experience.Supervisors and Employers are re-quired to sign off and date the skills follow-ing each successful achievement attesting that the trainee has properly demonstrated the required skills as well as attesting the trainee has obtained the required number of hours required to obtain certiﬁcation. The trainee shall work under the direct supervision of the supervisor holding the applicable PM license (e.g., PM1 license holder signs off for a PM1 trainee). It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure the trainee has properly demonstrated the required skills to them.WE ARE HERE TO HELP!The CPCA is a great resource to help you determine your path to certiﬁcation. With knowledgeable and experienced instructors and staff, we can assist you with any ques-tions you have.

JUNE 2022 • CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR • 7 THE OPCA HELD THEIR ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ON MARCH 31, 2022. While we were set to hold our event in person, unfortunately at the time of planning earlier in the year the province was still under restrictions for public gatherings, and we were compelled to cancel and hold the event virtually. Despite this, we still had a great turnout and appreciate our member’s participation. This was the second year we held our event virtually and look forward to meeting again in person next year. President Ken Jamieson reported the OPCA is currently working with TSSA to try to streamline the underground stor-age tank inspection process between the fuel oil and liquid fuels requirements es-pecially as the procedures for both are the same. OPCA believes this alignment will improve the inspection process and communication between TSSA and con-tractors knowing the inspector’s expec-tations during an inspection. This will also help contractors with their project timelines and budgets when working with their customer. We will keep our members updated on this progress. Marie-Michelle Modéry and Shelia McFarlane with Environment and Cli-mate Change Canada’s storage tank program were on hand to discuss the stor-age tank requirements for working on Federal Lands. They discussed their pro-grams to assist contractors help their clients better understand the identiﬁca-tion requirements of the Storage Tank Systems for Petroleum Products and Allied Petroleum Products Regulations as well as help determine if their systems are subject to the Regula-tions (visit the OPCA web-site for more information and links to these resourc-es). We also celebrated and acknowledged an industry colleague upon their retire-ment who has provided exceptional service to our association and to our in-dustry - TSSA’s Engineer-ing Specialist Ann-Marie Barker. Ann-Marie has worked actively with the association and our members for over twenty-years, attending meet-ings and participating in OPCA events and working with industry to improve regulation and public safety in Ontario. “Ann-Marie is considered a pillar of our industry and we are sad to see her leave,” says Ken Jamieson, “Ann has been instrumental in the development of the Liquid Fuels Handling Code and proven leader within TSSA’s Liquid Fu-els Risk Reduction Group. Many of us have worked with Ann for over twenty-ﬁve years and while we are happy she can enjoy her retirement, we are sad to see her go and will leave a big gap in our industry”. Ann-Marie’s contribution to safety is unparalleled and upon her retirement thanked her for the exceptional service to our association and to our industry. Ann-Marie was also in attendance and said while she looks forward to her re-tirement, she will miss working with the OPCA and the many petroleum contrac-tors she has worked with over the years. Canada Brokerlink insurance special-ist Dave Mason handles OPCA’s insur-ance program and provided an update on the program. OPCA’s program includes Environmental and Contractor Liability, Auto and Fleet insurance as well as per-sonal insurance for OPCA member’s and their employees.

Due to the pandemic, the in-surance cycle is slower due to the uncer-tainty and pressures of some pandemic and natural disaster related claims. He also noted the ﬂeet auto options are becoming more limited and some frustrations from companies to add new drivers. OPCA Annual Year inReview videoThe OPCA presented our annual year in review video, with the focus on the global supply chain issues impacting our industry and OPCA’s ongoing initia-tive to bridge the gap within the genera-tor installation and inspection regulation and requirements. While we continue to recover from a global pandemic, industries are still deal-ing with the long-term impacts and how it has disrupted the global movement on the supply of equipment for many businesses. These supply-chain disruptions, with many causes including port congestions, factory shutdowns and limited produc-tion has caused industry-wide supply constraints. In our year in review video, we discussed how these disruptions have impacted our industry. Along with Ken Ja-mieson, we also spoke with Joe Lynch, VP (Ontario) at National Energy Equipment and Krista Chaytor, Partner at Weirfoulds Law. They all discussed the importance of customers understanding the volatility of the current market and prepare them for unexpected price increases, surcharges and pushed out delivery dates. Creating a long-term plan and negotiat-ing with clients upfront based on unfore-seen price increases and delays can help them look further ahead than they nor-mally would while companies do their best to meet their needs throughout the project.Weirfoulds Law partner Krista Chay-tor is a leading lawyer in construction law and delivers seminars and workshops for the industry, was also on hand during the AGM to discuss what contractors should consider during contract negotiations with their clients to provide for delays and cost escalations. She noted force majeure clauses don’t always apply to supply chain issues and to ensure it covers the unavail-Krista ChaytorOPCA Annual General Meeting 2022

Clients may also agree to extensions and schedule relief provisions which will help the con-tractor if there are material and equipment delays. Some owners will also realize price escalations are also a reality and will work with contractors to provide for these addi-tional material costs. In the video, we also discuss our ongo-ing initiative to address industry gaps for the installation and inspection of diesel generator systems. This initiative by the OPCA began as the demand and scale for backup generator systems has evolved but the availability of training and qualiﬁed people to work on these systems has not kept up with demand. The OPCA has also developed the pro-gram to be used nationally where provinc-es can use the curriculum to ﬁll identiﬁed gaps in their own industry and regulato-ry requirements. Board of Directors ElectionThe Board for the 2022 membership year were elected. OPCA Director Bill Rathwell also acknowledged Zacary Villeneuve who retired his Director-At-Large position and thanked him for his service to the Board. The Director-At-Large represent the small contractor members, Ken Jamieson noted the importance of this representation on the OPCA Board and encour-aged members to consider vol-unteering. Members who may be interested in this position can also attend a few meetings before committing to a position.
