Depot safety and emergency procedures shall be available to all personnel and shall be fully
understood by them. In particular, care shall be taken to ensure that when connecting
equipment to metering stations where there are blind flanges, there is no pressure behind
them. Any flexible hoses used shall be sound and rated for the maximum line pressures.
Spillages are potentially dangerous and should be contained by drip trays. A check shall be
made that the receiving bulk storage tank has sufficient ullage to receive the volumes of fuel
passed through the meter during the test runs.
