fuel island

Fuel islands are vital to the operations of truck stops and travel centers, but they also pose a variety of safety risks. There are obvious dangers associated with flammable fuels as well as more routine threats of slips, trips, and falls. By focusing on employee training, regular maintenance, and safety technologies, operators can significantly reduce risks and provide a safer environment for both drivers and staff.

“As part of our onboarding, we train on the use and locations of all fire extinguishers. We take new team members to each fire extinguisher, have them pick it up from the holder, to make sure they can do it, and explain where to direct the nozzle,” said Damon Borden, operations manager for Broadway Group.
