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.
The pump/dispenser contains a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer.
