Important Safety Information
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 tag out and lock out
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 Lock-Out and Tag-Out requirements. Station employees and service
contractors need to understand and comply with this program completely to ensure safety
while the equipment is down.
Informing Emergency Personnel
Compile the following information for emergency personnel:
• Location of accident (e.g. address, front/back of building, etc.)
• Nature of accident (e.g. possible heart attack, run over by car, burns, etc.)
• Age of victim (e.g. baby, teenager, middle-age, elderly)
• Whether or not victim has received first aid (e.g. stopped bleeding by pressure, etc.)
• Whether or not victim has vomited (e.g. if swallowed or inhaled something, etc.)
IMPORTANT: Oxygen may be needed at scene if gasoline has been ingested or inhaled. Seek
medical advice immediately.
