What you’ll learn

Want to feel confident making the right call on LPG safety during inspections and events?

The reality is, gaps in mobile LPG knowledge can make compliance decisions harder – and increase risk for businesses, the public, and the wider sector. With the right training, you can act with confidence, support safer trading, and help raise standards across local traders, events, and festivals.

As an Environmental Health Professional, you play a critical role in keeping the industry safe. But improving consistency and standards in mobile LPG starts with the right knowledge.

That’s where NCASS comes in. We’ve combined our specialist expertise in mobile LPG with real-world insight from the catering and street food sector to create a focused, practical training package built specifically for EHOs.

Get the knowledge you need to make confident decisions, reduce risk, and drive higher standards across the businesses you work with.

“The course was invaluable and we will definitely be updating our licencing conditions for events to include what we learned.”
