Lesson 1Cold-weather specific checks: battery condition, diesel heaters, hose stiffness, anti-freeze measures for seals and filtersLooks at cold weather dangers to refueller vehicles and fuel systems, like battery work, diesel heater readiness, hose bendiness, and guarding seals, filters, and parts from freezing that might spoil safe fuel giving.
Assess battery health and cold-cranking capacityVerify diesel heater operation and fuel supplyCheck hose stiffness and risk of crackingProtect seals, O-rings, and gaskets from freezingCold-weather additives and anti-gel measuresLesson 2Refueler systems: hose integrity, couplings, reels, nozzles, meters and calibration verificationLooks at refueller fuel giving systems, including hoses, couplings, reels, nozzles, meters, and calibration checks, and tells inspection steps to make sure they are strong, right, and no leaks in fuelling work.
Inspect hose outer cover and reinforcementCheck couplings, seals, and swivel jointsTest hose reels, rewind, and locking devicesNozzle condition, bonding, and deadman testsMeter accuracy checks and seal verificationLesson 3Documentation and paperwork: load manifests, fuel quality certificates, delivery notes, maintenance logs, authorization formsTells about needed papers for each fuelling job, like load lists, fuel clean papers, delivery notes, upkeep logs, and permission forms, and how to check, fill, and keep them safe.
Verify load manifests and uplift calculationsCheck fuel quality certificates and batch dataComplete delivery notes and customer sign-offUpdate maintenance and defect log entriesControl, filing, and retention of recordsLesson 4Human factors and time-pressure mitigation: fatigue checks, communication with dispatcher, prioritization under busy turnaroundDeals with people factors affecting pre-work checks, like tiredness, time rush, talking with dispatch, and putting tasks first, to cut mistakes in busy turnarounds and keep safety space.
Recognizing fatigue and reduced vigilanceBriefing with dispatcher on workloadPrioritizing critical safety checks firstUse of cross-checks and peer verificationStrategies to resist unsafe time pressureLesson 5Onboard safety equipment: portable and fixed fire extinguishers, spill kits, PPE (cold-weather gear, gloves, eye protection), signageLists needed safety gear on refuelers, like movable and fixed fire extinguishers, spill kits, PPE (cold gear, gloves, eye guard), and signs, and tells how to check, test service, and put right for quick reach in emergencies.
Inspect portable fire extinguishers and sealsCheck fixed fire systems and activation pointsVerify spill kit contents and absorbent stocksConfirm PPE availability and correct sizingSafety signage, labels, and placard conditionLesson 6Daily vehicle inspection checklist: engine, brakes, lights, tires, cabin controls, fuel pump operationGives details of daily check list for refueler vehicles, looking at engine, brakes, lights, tyres, cabin controls, and fuel pump work to make sure road-ready and safe ramp work before going to movement area.
Engine oil, coolant, and visible leak checksBrake, steering, and parking brake functionLights, beacons, and audible warning devicesTire condition, inflation, and wheel securityCabin controls, mirrors, and visibility checksLesson 7Inspection and isolation of returned refueler: steps to verify truck after returning from another stand before next assignmentTells how to check and if needed, set apart a refueller coming back from another stand, checking clean, fuel system state, papers, and safety gear before giving vehicle to next job.
Confirm previous fueling task completionCheck for leaks, spills, or fuel odorsVerify filter status and water drain recordsReview trip log and any defect reportsIsolation procedures if issues are detectedLesson 8Filtration and water-separation systems on truck: bowl/selector valves, coalescers, filter elements, differential pressure indicatorsExplains filter and water-split parts on refueller trucks, like bowls, selector valves, coalescers, filter parts, and pressure difference signs, and how to check them to keep fuel clean and stop dirt.
Identify filter vessels and water separator layoutInspect sight bowls and drain water correctlyCheck selector valves for correct positionAssess coalescer and filter element conditionInterpret and record differential pressure readingsLesson 9Pre-shift verification routines and timing: frequency of checks (start of shift, between stands), checklists and sign-off practicesCovers planned pre-shift and during-shift check routines, like when to check, use of standard lists, papers, and sign-off ways to make sure answerable and steady safety work.
Start-of-shift full vehicle and system checkBetween-stand quick turnaround inspectionsUse of standardized checklists and formatsSupervisor review and electronic sign-offHandling defects found during routine checksLesson 10Grounding and bonding equipment: cable condition, clamps, testing procedures and continuity checksExplains grounding and bonding ways for refuelers, looking at cable strength, clamp state, and continuity tests, and tells check routines that stop static spark in fuelling on ramp.
