Design, Construction, Modification, Maintenance and Decommissioning of Filling Stations - Softcover
Synopsis
This new edition of the 'Blue Book' is essential reading for all those involved in the design, construction, modification, maintenance and decommissioning of facilities for the storage and dispensing of vehicle fuels at either retail or commercial premises, as well as those involved in the enforcement of regulations applicable to such sites. This new publication has been produced jointly by the Association for Petroleum and Explosives Administration (APEA) and the Service Station Panel of the Energy Institute (EI). Considerable technical input has also been provided by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other industry stakeholders in the UK. The publication: provides technical information on the storage and dispensing of petroleum products used as fuels for motor vehicles, including petrol, diesel and auto gas (also known as LPG), primarily at filling stations to which the general public has access; covers civil, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical installation issues for the planning, design, construction, commissioning, modification, maintenance and decommissioning of filling stations; provides information aimed at minimizing the risks from fire and explosion, to health and to the environment; describes good practice and certain legal requirements, particularly those applicable in Europe and the UK; and is intended to be applicable to both new sites and existing sites that are modified/refurbished. The HSE has provided considerable technical input to the publication's development. This second edition replaces that published by APEA/IP in 1999, which in turn was a replacement for the HSE's "HS(G)41 Petrol filling stations: Construction and Operation". Although the information is largely based on experience from the UK, making frequent reference to legislation applicable in the UK, it is anticipated that the general principles will be applicable in most regions internationally. HSE supports the publication of this guidance and believes it represents current good practice. In HSE's view, it provides useful and authoritative advice that will help the industry fulfil their legal obligations to minimise fire and explosion risks at filling stations.
