Prevent Explosions and Fires
Fuels and their vapors will become explosive if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels cause vapors.
Even filling customer tanks will cause explosive vapors in the vicinity of dispenser or island.
No Open Flames
Open flames from matches, lighters, welding torches or other sources can ignite
fuels and their vapors.
No Sparks - No Smoking
Sparks from starting vehicles, starting or using power tools, burning cigarettes,
cigars or pipes can also ignite fuels and their vapors. Static electricity, including an
electrostatic charge on your body, can cause a spark sufficient to ignite fuels and their vapors.
After getting out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your vehicle to discharge any electrostatic
charge before you approach the dispenser island.
Informing Emergency Personnel
Compile the following information for emergency personnel:
• Location of accident (e.g. address, front/back of building, etc.)
• Nature of accident (e.g. possible heart attack, run over by car, burns, etc.)
• Age of victim (e.g. baby, teenager, middle-age, elderly)
• Whether or not victim has received first aid (e.g. stopped bleeding by pressure, etc.)
• Whether or not victim has vomited (e.g. if swallowed or inhaled something, etc.)
IMPORTANT: Oxygen may be needed at scene if gasoline has been ingested or inhaled. Seek
medical advice immediately.
Other Useful Safety Information
This subsection provides additional safety information.
OSHA Lock-Out and Tag-Out Requirements
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910-147 Control of Hazardous Energy Sources (Lock-Out/Tag-Out)
covers ways to avoid personal injury because power was turned on or fuel pressure was
applied unexpectedly while servicing equipment. The rule requires:
(1) Turning off equipment power and fuel under pressure.
(2) Use of a locking device (breaker, valve, etc.) or label device with a warning tag.
Station employees and service contractors need to understand and comply with this program
completely to ensure safety while the equipment is down.
