Safe Refueling tips from Worksafe Victoria

When refueling petrol or diesel powered portable equipment there must be safe systems of work in place to reduce the ignition risk.
These may include:

When Refueling:

• Turn the equipment off and give it time for the hot parts to cool down
• Remove the equipment from inside vehicles
• Remove the equipment from trailers or surfaces (eg plastic or rubber) to ground out any static charge built up on the equipment
• Refuel away from other heat and possible ignition sources
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area
• Do not refuel in low lying areas, where vapours can accumulate
• Refuel only from approved labelled fuel containers
• Use a funnel, to reduce the risk of static electricity and fuel spillage
• Ensure suitable fire extinguishers are readily accessible
• Replace fuel caps on equipment and fuel containers tightly.
