Compliance Safety
FAQs
Compliance safety involves managing fuel deliveries, storage systems, dispensers, records, employee training, inspections, and emergency procedures according to the requirements that apply to the site.
Confirm the ordered products, review available tank capacity, identify the correct fill connections, and keep the delivery area accessible. Applicable federal rules require adequate tank capacity before transfer and continuous monitoring of the transfer operation.
Routine checks may address spill buckets, fill caps, tank gauges, alarms, containment sumps, dispenser components, emergency shutoffs, signs, labels, and visible signs of damage or leakage.
Training should reflect each employee’s responsibilities and applicable requirements. Topics may include alarm recognition, emergency shutoffs, spill reporting, evacuation, customer control, and contacting emergency responders.
Employees assigned duties around the fueling operation should know how to locate the emergency shutoff and understand when site procedures direct them to use it.
