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

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

hydraulic, chemical or other energy, but does not cover
electrical hazards. Subpart S of 29 CFR Part 1910 - Electrical

Tagout provision for electrical hazards.
