Remove ignition sources, control spills quickly, keep PPE handy, and know your evacuation plan.

Daily Habits That Prevent Incidents

Keep phones away from nozzle areas, avoid static (touch a grounded surface), and never top off tanks. Confirm shut-off works and cones are placed for traffic flow.

Spill Response

Stop the source, cordon off with cones, apply absorbent, and dispose per station rules. Record time, product, and quantity in the incident log.

Housekeeping & PPE

Wipe nozzles and handles, keep extinguishers unobstructed, and store absorbents where you can reach them in seconds. Use gloves when dealing with fuel or oil.
