• The course is aimed at site operators and managers of petrol filling stations to enable them to comply with the relevant health & safety law in particular their statutory duties under the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres .
• It will also be useful to others who have an interest in the safe operation of petrol filling stations . Petrol filling stations and other facilities where petrol is dispensed as a fuel into the tanks of internal combustion engines are required to be licensed by the relevant Petroleum Licensing Authorities (PLA) who will seek to ensure that the necessary safety standards are observed and maintained. PLA’s in carrying out these duties to secure compliance with the law, may refer to this guidance as illustrating good practice Petrol Stations have differing fire requirements than many standard business premises due to the potential of fire with the flammable fuels that are used.
• Good housekeeping in petrol stations is essential to ensure the safety of your business, your staff and your customers.  Keeping a close look out for fuel spills, how to ensure that these are dealt with correctly, the location of the extinguishers and how these should be used are all very essential for all of the staff on-site.
