Safe refuelling using approved handheld fuel cans – CertifyPro online course

Handheld refuelling is common but combines flammable vapour, hot equipment, manual handling, skin exposure and pollution risk.

This seven-lesson course covers petrol and other common equipment fuels, designated refuelling areas, ignition controls, approved cans, pre-use checks, controlled pouring, storage, spill response and practical authorisation.

Important: This is awareness training. Employers must still provide a suitable DSEAR/COSHH assessment, the exact fuel safety data sheet, equipment-specific instruction, supervision and authorisation.
