Who should use the fuel pump emergency shut-off?

The fuel pump emergency shut-off is specifically designed for use by trained personnel at the fuel station. This safety feature allows for the immediate cessation of fuel dispensing in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or fuel spill. Since station personnel are trained to handle such emergencies and understand the protocols for responding safely, they are the appropriate individuals to operate the shut-off.

Customers or other parties may not be aware of the correct procedures or implications of using the shut-off, which could lead to confusion or unintended consequences during a critical situation. Emergency responders are equipped to manage emergency scenarios comprehensively but are not typically responsible for the operation of the pumps themselves in non-emergency conditions. Thus, fuel station personnel are the designated users of the emergency shut-off to maintain safety and ensure effective response to any hazardous situations.
