No Open Fire
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 
fuel vapors. Every time you get out of a vehicle, touch the 
metal of your vehicle, to discharge any electrostatic charge 
before you approach the dispenser island.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of 
rendering first aid be present during servicing. Familiarize 
yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, 
if you work with or around high voltages. This information is 
available from the American Red Cross. Always advise the 
station personnel about where you will be working, and 
caution them not to activate power while you are working on 
the equipment. Use the OSHA Lockout/ Tagout procedures. If 
you are not familiar with this requirement, refer to this 
information in the service manual and OSHA documentation.
Working With Electricity Safely
Ensure that you use safe and established practices in 
working with electrical devices. Poorly wired devices may 
cause a fire, explosion or electrical shock. Ensure that 
grounding connections are properly made. Take care that 
sealing devices and compounds are in place. Ensure that you 
do not pinch wires when replacing covers. Follow OSHA 
Lockout/Tagout requirements. Station employees and service 
contractors need to understand and comply with this program 
completely to ensure safety while the equipment is down.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials present inside electronic enclosures may 
present a health hazard if not handled correctly. Ensure that 
you clean hands after handling equipment. Do not place any 
equipment in the mouth.
In an Emergency
Inform Emergency Personnel
Compile the following information and inform emergency 
personnel:
• Location of accident (for example, address, front/back of
building, and so on)
• Nature of accident (for example, possible heart attack, run
over by car, burns, and so on)
• Age of victim (for example, baby, teenager, middle-age,
elderly)
• Whether or not victim has received first aid (for example,
stopped bleeding by pressure, and so on)
• Whether or not a victim has vomited (for example, if
swallowed or inhaled something, and so on)
IMPORTANT: Oxygen may be needed at scene if gasoline 
has been ingested or inhaled. Seek medical advice 
immediately.
Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout covers servicing and maintenance of 
machines and equipment in which the unexpected 
energization or start-up of the machine(s) or equipment or 
release of stored energy could cause injury to employees or 
personnel. Lockout/Tagout applies to all mechanical, 
hydraulic, chemical or other energy, but does not cover 
electrical hazards. Subpart S of 29 CFR Part 1910 - Electrical 
Hazards, 29 CFR Part 1910.333 contains specific Lockout/
Tagout provision for electrical hazards.
