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
Information is available at Occupational Safety and Hazard Association (OSHA), National Fire Protection
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
must be followed to maintain safe installation, service, use and operation of the equipment.
LOTO (Lockout/Tagout)
Always make sure ALL power to the dispenser is turned OFF before servicing the
dispenser. Follow OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.147 The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout).
No Sparks - No Smoking
Sparks from power tools, burning cigarettes, static electricity, vehicles and other sources can ignite fuels
and their vapors. Ensure that you use safe and established practices while working with electrical devices
and equipment.
Wear Proper PPE
Check with your company, customers and the job/site specifics to determine what types of personal
protective equipment are appropriate. Always wear the proper PPE to prevent injuries and save lives.
Barricade Your Work Area
One of the dangers of working at an active retail fueling station is the potential impact of customers and the
general public. It is important to properly establish your work area by barricading, to reduce the potential of
vehicles or customers from entering the work area. The use of barricades is both for the protection of
workers and protection of the general public/customers.
Read the Manual(s)
Knowledge of all related manufacturer procedures, manuals and documents is important. Follow the
Recommended Practices of The American Petroleum Institute (API). Understand the specific procedures
before starting work. If you do not understand a procedure, call Freedom Electronics at 770-792-8888.
