VAIL-PSRA (Petrol Station Risk Assessment)

PSRA has been developed according to the guidelines in the standard HS(G) 146: Dispensing Petrol - Assessing and controlling the risk of fire and explosion at sites where petrol is stored and disposed as a fuel. It acts as a checklist to be sure that precautionary measures are in place and are practically observed during operations. It is a recommended practice to carry out a reassessment of the Petrol station on a regular basis.

PSRA incorporates the following five steps recommended in the standard HS(G) 146, providing a systematic approach to looking for hazards and managing risk.

· Analyze the site, its design, operation, and surroundings to identify where a fire and explosion hazard may exist.

• For each area of the site and operation, consider: What could go wrong and who could be affected?
• For each finding from the previous step, assess if the current precautions are enough or if more needs to be done.
• Record each finding and any action to be taken
• Decide when there is need to review the Risk assessment
