Inspection conducted by:

BULK DIESEL STORAGE FACILITY

Enter location of bulk diesel liquid storage is located
The hazard inspection must be conducted by a Supervisor and/or Safety and Health Representative and/or an employee, as follows:
1. For EVERY inspection requirement, indicate the item as Compliant (C), Non-Compliant (NC) or Not Applicable (N/A)
2. For every non-compliance identified, provide the location and a description in the comments section. Note: Include positive comments on section. Note: Include positive comments on compliance, not just negatives
3. Enter defects or non-compliances in the applicable site registers, i.e. electrical equipment defects must be entered into the Electrical Register
4. At inspection completion, discuss the non-conformances with the Area Superintendent and determine an action, completion date and responsible person - enter this in the agreed actions section of this form
5. Forward the completed inspection to the Safety Department
6. The Safety Department is to check that ALL identified non-conformances for that month have been corrected and or entered into INX.

Are bund walls and floors made of impervious material? i.e. either a concrete or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic-lined earthen bund
Is bund appropriately sized for amount stored in it? i.e. every bund should have capacity for 110% of largest vessel or 25% of total stored, whichever is the largest percentage
Are tanks located more than 1m inside bund?
Is emergency shutdown switch for diesel pump easily accessible, clearly marked?
Are DANGER, NO SMOKING, NO NAKED FLAME signs in place at facility?
Are fire extinguishers available and are they in-date? i.e. check the service date
Is the diesel pump operation warning light clearly visible?
Are access steps to bulk tanks (over bund walls) in good condition and not reducing bund integrity?
Is there adequate access systems installed to perform dip readings?
Are tank identification numbers clearly visible on all diesel tanks?
Is housekeeping maintained to standard? i.e. bunds free from water, silt, litter
Is piping/hoses properly stored? i.e. clipped in place, not left on driveway
Are bund walls and floors in good condition? i.e. no evidence of cracking/damage
Can apron and drive over bunds contain spills when transferring diesel to tanks?
Can apron and drive over bunds contain spills when refueling a vehicle?
Are dispensing nozzles in holsters?
Are bund valves in closed position?
Is bund in good condition? i.e. no evidence of spills/stains external to the bund
Are spill kits located nearby and are they fully stocked?
Are all hoses, connections, valves, flanges free of leaks and obvious deterioration?
Does bunded area drain/slope away from tank to a sump that is connected to an oil/water separation facility?
Is sump or separation facility in good condition and adequately maintained? e.g. sediment levels low, enough freeboard
Are bins appropriate - colour coded, correctly labeled, waste properly segregated? i.e. no controlled waste in general waste bins
