At a busy service station, it’s easy to get caught up in daily operations and forget about safety–until something goes wrong. But the most successful operators know that a proactive approach to safety isn’t just about avoiding fines or injuries; it’s about protecting your team, your customers, and your bottom line.
Service stations present unique risks: flammable fuels, moving vehicles, sharp tools, and unpredictable customer behaviour. One minor lapse – a fuel spill left unattended or a dimly lit forecourt – can quickly escalate into an incident with serious consequences.
The real danger? Thinking “it won’t happen here.”
Regular safety checks, clear signage, and up-to-date equipment are a strong start, but they’re not enough on their own. Safety awareness must be part of your culture. That starts with training.
Your staff should know exactly what to do in a range of scenarios: fuel spills, aggressive customers, emergency shutdowns, and even slips and falls. They need to spot risks before they become hazards and take swift, confident action.
That’s where our ServoSkills training course comes in. Designed specifically for service station teams, it provides practical, easy-to-follow training that covers safety procedures, emergency protocols, and real-world risk scenarios. Better yet, it’s free for ServoPro members.
Don’t wait for a close call to act. Prioritising safety today means fewer disruptions, better compliance, and a stronger reputation in your community.
A safer site is a smarter site – and it starts with you.
