Forecourt survey

Xmo Strata has used
XmoMan – claimed to be the
most sophisticated asset
management software of its
type and developed by the
company’s own IT staff – to
analyse 674 health and safety
related incidents that
occurred on petrol station
forecourts.

According to the report
53.1% of the incidents – 358 –
relate to contractors working
on site. A further 27.6% – 186
– relate to issues that could
have been identified and/or
mitigated by site staff, which,
according to the researchers,
indicates a need for training.

Only 13.4% – 90 – relate to
issues caused by members of
the public. Overall 29% of
health and safety issues relate
to electrical installation or
maintenance – and only 6%
relate to driving.
