Fuel Storage & Petroleum Safety Training

Fuel storage systems can present a range of potential hazards if not designed and constructed with care, knowledge and proper procedures. That’s why fuel storage system training is essential, not only to stay compliant with petroleum safety regulations, but to foster a strong safety culture across your business. Our comprehensive fuel storage system training equips you and your team with the knowledge and skills necessary for the safe and efficient operation of your fuel storage systems.

With a wealth of industry experience, we offer on-site or remote fuel storage safety training packages, tailored to your individual needs.

Whether you're a site manager overseeing multiple tanks or a technician responsible for day-to-day fuel management, our training courses are designed to prepare your workforce for real-world risks. Covering everything from safe tank usage to emergency response procedures, our training supports businesses who want to protect their teams, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce accident rates.

Why Fuel Training Matters

The petroleum industry is governed by strict laws and safety regulations designed to minimise environmental and human risk. Protecting the environment and health is essential in the petroleum industry, as hazards can impact both ecological systems and worker well-being. Without proper training, fuel handling errors can lead to injuries, accidents, contamination, or even large-scale emergency events.

For special projects, we also provide professional instructional videos, online assessments and company-branded certification.

Training from the Petrol Tank Company ensures your team is well-versed in best practices and regulatory compliance, allowing you to manage your fuel storage operations with confidence and peace of mind.

Fuel storage and management training can help you to:

  • Keep your team safe, improve efficiency and reduce risk of accidents

  • Mitigate misuse and identify any other training requirements

  • Ensure your fuel storage systems are being used correctly and operations meet changing regulation

  • Keep your business compliant and work within the requirements of your petroleum licence

  • Understand what your insurance covers and how it can be invalidated

  • Work with a trusted and experienced fuel storage and management partner

Each course is designed to equip your team with knowledge they can put into action, whether that’s understanding correct maintenance procedures or how to wear and use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, gloves and fire-retardant clothing. It is crucial that workers are properly trained, as training requirements may vary depending on job roles, regulatory needs, and specific hazards. Adopting best practices is key to mitigating risks and promoting safe operations across all aspects of petroleum management.
