3272 Guidance for the management of distribution terminal operations

Overview:

This publication provides recommendation of good practices for the safe management of the operations of petroleum distribution terminals, including the receipt, storage, handling and loading of petroleum products.

The guidance provides recommendations for safe practices, rather than a rigid set of rules and it is stressed that the specific circumstances of each terminal should be taken into account when considering this document.

The guidance does not specifically cover environmental protection, health or product quality, although sections of this guidance may also prove useful in managing these aspects.
