| | |Ensure the proper fuel type is chosen, i.e. gas or diesel. | |
|WHEN AT THE PUMPS - Refueling Equipment|Potential for fires or explosion resulting in personal |1. DO NOT RE-ENTER VEHICLE OR CLIMB ON EQUIPMENT AFTER PUMPING HAS BEGUN – This can create static | |

| | | | |
| | |3. Do not “top-off” tanks – This can lead to overflow and excessive vapor release. | |
| | |No Smoking while refueling and/or refilling tanks. | |
| | |Ensure the proper fuel type is chosen, i.e. gas or diesel. | |
|WHEN AT THE PUMPS -Filling fuel |Potential for fires or explosion resulting in personal |1. Ensure that the container is an approved container, meeting OSHA or DOT requirements. | |
|containers - Remove nozzle from pump |injury, property damage and/or death. |NOTE: PLASTIC GAS CANS OR CONTAINERS ARE NOT ALLOWED FOR STORING ANY FUELS UNLESS THE CONTAINER | |
|and insert into approved container. | |SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IT MEETS OSHA or DOT REQUIREMENTS. | |
| | |2. Do not fill containers while in the back of truck beds with plastic liners or inside vehicles or| |
| | |trunks with carpeted floors. | |
| | | | |
| | |3. After placing the container on the ground, release vapor pressure by slowly opening spring | |
| | |loaded handle. Do this prior to removing nozzle from pump. | |
| | | | |
| | |4. Remove nozzle from pump and hold away from container. Once again release vapor pressure and | |
| | |then insert nozzle into container for fueling. | |
| | |5. Fill the container slowly to avoid excessive vapor and static electricity buildup. This will | |
| | |also decrease splattering and spilling. | |
| | | | |
| | |6. Do not overfill – Fill fuel containers to approximately 95% capacity to allow for vapor | |
| | |expansion. | |
| | |7. Place cap on tightly. | |
| | | | |
| | |8. Any gasoline that spills on the container must be allowed to evaporate or be cleaned off prior | |
| | |to placing the container inside the vehicle, in the bed of the vehicle or on the trailer. | |
| | |9. Secure containers against tipping and sliding and out of direct sunlight exposure or excessive | |
| | |heat from the trunk of a car. | |
| | | | |
| | |10. NOTE: NEVER SIPHON ANY FUEL BY MOUTH! | |
| | |No Smoking while refueling and/or refilling tanks. | |
| | |Ensure the proper fuel type is chosen, i.e. gas or diesel. | |
|WHEN AT THE PUMPS - Refueling Complete.|None. |1. Replace nozzle at pump. | |
| | |2. Replace gas cap & close cover, if equipped. | |
|WHEN AT THE PUMPS - Return to vehicle. |None. |1. Turn on cell phones only after shutting the door. | |
| | |2. Restart vehicle and continue hauling equipment to destination. | |
| | | | |
|WHILE IN “FIELD” LOCATIONS - Refueling |Static electricity combined with sudden vapor release may|1. Only use approved Safety Cans, meeting OSHA or DOT requirements for refueling equipment. Ensure| |
|Equipment/Filling Containers. |ignite vapors, resulting in fire and/or explosion, which |that gas cans have not been left in direct sunlight. | |
| |may cause injury, property damage and/or death. | | |
| | |2. Ensure that equipment has had plenty of time to cool down before refueling. Some equipment | |
| | |requires a “cool down” period before refueling. Ensure these instructions are understood for all | |
| | |equipment being used, prior to refueling. A Minimum of 10 minutes is recommended unless otherwise | |
| | |specified by the manufacturer. | |
| | |NOTE: Where equipment operation is part of a critical operation, such as when a backup generator is | |
| | |used for traffic signal control, the 10-minute time limit may be disregarded. However, utmost care | |
| | |must be taken to ensure that fuel is not spilled on hot engine parts during refueling. | |
| | |3. Slowly release spring loaded handle to release gasoline vapors. Complete this step away from | |
| | |equipment and other potential ignition sources. | |
| | | | |
| | |4. Where necessary, Insert funnel into tank to avoid spilling fuel on equipment. | |
| | | | |
| | |5. Prepare to refuel by positioning yourself in a manner that will allow for a steady and | |
| | |ergonomically correct position and hold on the container for the duration of the fueling process. | |
| | |6. Once positioned, again release spring-loaded handle to allow vapors to escape prior to touching | |
| | |any metal surface on the equipment that is being refueled. | |
| | |7. Fill the equipment slowly to avoid excessive vapor and static electricity buildup. This will | |
| | |also decrease splattering and spilling. | |
| | | | |
| | |8. Do not overfill – Fill fuel containers to approximately 95% capacity to allow for vapor | |
| | |expansion. | |
| | |9. Place cap on tightly. | |
| | | | |
| | |10. Any gasoline that spills on the equipment must be allowed to evaporate or be cleaned off prior to| |
| | |engine start-up. | |
| | | | |
| | |11. Where possible, store fuel container in a location away from excessive heat and/or direct | |
| | |sunlight. | |
| | |No Smoking while refueling and/or refilling tanks. | |
|Emergencies – Fire, explosion or other |Potential for mild to severe burns, other injuries and/or|1. Move away from the hazard immediately. Warn others as you swiftly and safely seek a more safe | |
| |death. |location. | |
| | | | |
| | |2. If possible, press the emergency cut-off switch and then call 911. In field locations, call | |
| | |911immediately. | |
| | | | |
| | |3. At the pumps - Use portable extinguishers only after the cut-off switch has been activated and | |
| | |only if the fire is away from the vehicle. Do not approach a burning vehicle or equipment! | |
| | |In field locations - Use portable extinguishers only when the fire does not appear to be coming from | |
| | |the tank itself, such as may be the case, where fuel may have leaked onto the engine and | |
| | |ignited. Do not approach an engulfed piece of equipment! | |
| | |4. Remember the “STOP, DROP and ROLL” technique should you or someone else catch on fire. Immediately| |
| | |try to find a water source and/or another non-flammable and non-hazardous liquid that could also be | |
| | |used to help extinguish the fire. | |
|ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS. |Potential for fires or explosion due to static |1. When exiting the vehicle or equipment, touch a metal surface on the vehicle or equipment as you | |
| |electricity buildup, which may result in personal injury,|exit or as soon as you have exited – Static electricity builds up between the seat and clothing in | |
| |property damage and/or death. |most vehicles and on some equipment. When exiting, the body normally retains at least half of the | |
| | |electrical charge and stored voltages of up to 10,000 volts are not unlikely!! | |
| | | | |
| | |2. If you have released or let go of the nozzle while refueling, touch a metal surface on the | |
| | |nozzle, vehicle or equipment prior to removing the nozzle from tank. | |
| | |3. Do not use the refueling latch on the pump nozzle, if equipped – These latches have been known to | |
| | |cause overflow, increasing spills and excessive vapor release that could be more easily ignited. | |
| | |4. It is recommended not to transport fuel containers inside an enclosed vehicle. | |
|Task Completed. |None. |None. | |
