Important Safety Information
Know Your Environment
Working at a fueling station can present many dangers. It is a potentially dangerous environment of
electricity, flammable fuels, vapors, and interaction with the general public. Only trained and
knowledgeable individuals should perform service on the equipment. It is important to your safety and the
safety of others to follow proper procedures.
Emergency Shut Off (ESO)
Know how to turn OFF power to all the fueling equipment by locating the ESO switch and circuit breakers.
You must know how to shut off all fuel flow and electricity in an emergency.
Follow the Regulations

Association (NFPA) 30A; Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 70;
National Electrical Code (NEC), as well as other national, state and local entities. All applicable codes
