1-10 Specific Safety Hazards - Cont'd.
1-10.3
WARNING
GROUNDING
All equipment, devices, machinery, hoses and piping must be grounded to avoid static electricity
discharge. When loading or filling vehicles, make sure the fuel dispensing system is grounded. If a
grounding strap is present and intact, connect it to the vehicle frame. Touch the fill nozzle against the
vehicle's metal prior to opening the filling valve to discharge any static charge before fuel vapor is
present, if grounding strap is not there for some reason.
1-10.4
WARNING
DISCONNECT VEHICLE FROM HOSELINES
Make sure hoselines are disconnected from vehicles at loading and unloading stations before vehicle is
moved.
1-10.5
WARNING
LIQUID FUEL ACCUMULATION
The accumulation of liquid fuel, or hot lubricating oil is a fire hazard. Wipe and wash down such areas or
surfaces promptly. Dispose of any wiping rags in an area removed from the fuel storage or handling
areas. Apply no smoking rules within 100 ft. of any fuel accumulation.
1-10.6
WARNING
FUEL SATURATED SOIL
Fuel saturated soil is a fire hazard. Do not allow unnecessary personnel in the area. Do not allow
smoking within 100 ft. of the area. Wash down the area thoroughly with water until the evidence of fuel
is gone. A detergent in with the water will help disperse the fuel.
1-10.7
WARNING
LIQUID FUEL LEAKS
Promptly correct any fuel leakage that causes an accumulation of fuel on any surface. If it cannot be
corrected safely while in operation, shut down and make corrections to stop the leak. Make a list of any
minor leaks that cannot be corrected in operation and make repairs at the first shut down opportunity.
