If you're the owner or manager of your local gas station, protecting your equipment and your employees is naturally a top priority. One of the best ways to do both is to install bollards. These security products come in many types and serve a variety of applications, including those suitable for gas stations. Check out some of the best ways to use Delineators Bollard at the gas station below.
1. Around the air pump
Accidentally hitting a gas pump with a car is a serious safety hazard because both the pump and the vehicle can catch fire and explode. Installing permanent bollards helps prevent cars from moving on, making it an essential safety measure. Since drivers typically don't drive fast when driving at gas stations, safety bollards can easily stop them and prevent catastrophic injuries that can lead to legal action and damaged reputation. This will help keep your employees and customers safe, giving you peace of mind.
2. Around the staff booth
Small booths or booths that your workers use to keep warm in the cold, avoid rain and snow, and enjoy a snack are vulnerable to wayward drivers. These booths often feature significant glass as staff must be able to see through them and attend to customers as needed. Surrounding these booths with Delineators Bollard gives them the same type of protection as an air pump. Your staff will appreciate your attention to their safety and may work harder as a result, contributing to your station's reputation for friendly, efficient service.
3. Around gas leaks and other hazards
Gas leaks at gas stations are not surprising. Other spills can also occur, such as large rigs refueling and accidental spills of chemicals or other hazardous liquids/substances. Portable Delineators Bollard can be used to surround any spills on your site, preventing drivers from driving through them and spreading liquids or other substances. If the spill in question is slippery, such as gasoline, using bollards to identify the problem can prevent slips and falls for drivers walking through your station's convenience store. This is another way bollards prevent serious hazards and site liability issues that can cost stations in various ways.
