I had to do a safety course for working on petrol forecourts about 15 years ago, they told us to assume that there is a constant invisible fog of fumes knee high and its very ignitable...:oops: then they showed us videos of roofers torching next to the tank vent pipes 🔥. They were fussy about the brushed motors in impact drills and tools as well because of the sparks...it got to the point where you were only allowed to use cave man tools. After 8 hours of H&S videos of petrol stations blowing up, I didn't really fancy working on them anymore.
When mobile phones were introduced, their use on fuel forecourts was verboten , now we use them to log in and actuate the chosen pump !
