Let's Talk about . . . Fire Safety Training

Basic Service Station Fire Protection Certification

 Are you in compliance?

In many lower mainland communities, Basic Fire Training is mandatory for Service Station Sales Associates. If your site is located in North Vancouver, Vancouver City, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge or Mission - this bylaw applies to you:

*"No person carrying on the business of a gasoline service station shall employ any person as an attendant unless that person has successfully completed a training program in fire safety and protection designed for service station attendants that has been approved by the Fire Chief."

*(This quote comes from an actual municipal bylaw. Some bylaws will vary, although the wording may be different, all municipal bylaws indicate a requirement to have your staff trained.)

Did You Know?

That Fire Department Inspectors may request that the Wallet Card be produced at any time. Sales Associates who are involved in the dispensing of gasoline and who have not been certified, are grounds for initiating fines to your site. We'd hate for that to happen to you. Plus you don't want to leave yourself open for liability.
