Course Description
Outdoor natural gas-fueled heaters are popular with restaurants and foodservice operators as they are an effective method of extending the outdoor dining season. A sidewalk café with added warmth can be operational later into the fall through winter by providing additional heat to an area that would otherwise be unpleasantly cold. This will be especially beneficial as the service industry adapts to COVID-19. The G-93 Certificate of Fitness holder is required for the Supervision of portable outdoor natural gas-fired heaters in sidewalk cafes.
This instructor-led, virtual (Distance Learning) seminar will assist students in preparing to successfully pass the written examination required by the FDNY to obtain the Certificate of Fitness for Supervision of Portable Natural Gas Heaters (G- 93) which can be taken, in person at FDNY’s headquarters through a computer-based exam.
