Safety - petrol - delivery and storage
Summary of Service
Licensing of petroleum filling stations.
Details of Service
The petroleum licensing authority is Wiltshire County Council (Trading Standards) who are responsible for ensuring safety at sites where petrol is delivered, stored and dispensed.
The keeping of petrol must be in accordance with conditions attached to a licence issued under the Petroleum (Consolidation) Act 1928. When an Inspector appointed by the licensing authority visits a petrol filling station the aim is to ensure the observance, maintenance and, where necessary, the improvement of safety standards.
Other safety-related legislation is enforced by the local councils or the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), dependent on the main activity at the premises concerned.
At the time of writing there are proposals being considered for changes to petrol legislation. These may affect licensing and health and safety enforcement responsibilities. Contact your enforcing authority for the current position.
