Prevent Explosions and Fires
Fuels and their vapors will explode or burn, if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels cause vapors. Even filling customer tanks will
cause potentially dangerous vapors in the vicinity of the dispenser or 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 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. 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. Before you start work, know the
location of the Emergency Power Cutoff Switch (the E-STOP). This switch cuts off power to all fueling equipment and
submerged turbine pumps and is to be used in the event of an emergency. The buttons on the console at the cashier’s station
WILL NOT shut off electrical power to the pump/dispenser. This means that even if you press a button on the console labeled
EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, PUMP STOP, or something similar, fuel may continue to flow uncontrolled.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials 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.
