  • Reads on any phone

The Fuel Priming Pump Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides essential instructions to safeguard personnel and equipment during fuel transfer operations.

It covers the PPE to wear, the hazards (fire, chemical exposure and equipment malfunction), work area requirements, precautions, maintenance, the pre-operational inspection and a step-by-step guide to operating the pump, from PPE to spill cleanup.

An employee training and induction register tracks training completion and competency levels, so everyone is prepared for their role.
