Fuel Handling has several inherent risks...

1.  Fire and explosion
2.  Ground water contamination
3.  Exposure to carcinogens through vapours or skin contact
4.  Emissions affecting air quality

As a result of the above risks, this is a highly regulated industry and fuel handling procedures frequently come under the microscope. Whether you are under the microscope or not, it is extremely wise to take precautions to ensure that your fuel handling procedures are safe and that you and your business are protected from unnecessary liability and prosecution.
