Fuels industry UK Forecourt Committee has adopted and adapted a standard set of risk and training areas as an expected minimum requirement for all forecourt staff competencies. It is adapted from the Energy Institutes (EI) RED GUIDE, specifically, appendix C and is a minimum requirement for all forecourt staff competence training. The Forecourt Committee recognise that staff should be trained to a minimum standard and demonstrate that they are competent to recognise the risks and the measures they need to take to protect the safety of the public, contractors and themselves.
Fuels Industry UK considers the set of risk and training areas to cover all relevant areas relating to safety performance and this provides a benchmark of good practice for companies to work with.
They competence standard will help to:
- Increase individual awareness ownership of critical safeguards that prevent incidents and fatalities;
- Take a step towards an industry-wide common safety language; and
- Improve clarity and consistency.
