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.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of
rendering first aid be present during servicing. Be familiar
with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods if you
are working 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 information
in the service manual and OSHA documentation.
Working With Electricity Safely
Be sure to use safe and established practices in working with
electrical devices. Poorly wired devices may cause a fire,
explosion or electrical shock. Be sure grounding connections
are properly made. Make sure that sealing devices and
compounds are in place. Be sure not to 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. Be sure to
clean hands after handling equipment. Do not place any
equipment in mouth.

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. Reference Subpart S of 29 CFR Part 1910
- Electrical Hazards, 29 CFR Part 1910.333 contains specific
Lockout/Tagout provision for electrical hazards.
