New Process for Registering Employees for AFS Training Events


May 01, 2025

Beginning May 1, Alternative Fuels Safety will implement a new process for licensed companies to register their employees for AFS Training Classes and Exams.

The new registration process is outlined below. 

Step 1

The organization’s Delegated Administrator will create a RAMP account for the employee.

  • The administrator must enter a unique email address and a cell phone number.
  • The employee must be able to access both the email account and phone number entered.

Step 2

The administrator will select the RAMP account for their employee from a list of users with the company’s account ID.

  • The employee will then receive an email with a link to the registration which will be sent to the email address entered in the employee’s RAMP account.

Step 3

The employee will login to AFOS and access the registration through a link and complete the process by:

  • Entering their contact information,
  • Entering their social security number, and
  • Acknowledging the declaration statement.

Once the employee submits the updated registration, both the account administrator and the employee will receive a confirmation email.

Further instructions are available here.

What we do

The Oversight and Safety Division has responsibility for Alternative Fuels, Gas Services and Pipeline Safety. This reorganization in January 2015 will bring even greater efficiency and consistency to these operations within the Commission, allowing the agency to better serve the state.

The Railroad Commission of Texas (Commission) is the state agency responsible for regulating the safe storage, transportation and use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG, Propane, Butane), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), pursuant to the Texas Natural Resources Code (TNRC). The Commission has also adopted regulations for each fuel type under the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapters 9, 13, and 14, respectively.

The Alternative Fuels Safety (AFS) department enforces both the state statutes and the Commission’s regulations on these fuels, by conducting safety evaluations of stationary facilities and mobile equipment, licensing companies engaged in alternative fuel activities, and providing training to individuals working in the alternative fuels industries.
