Rank: Forum user		Hi I have just been carrying out a COSHH assessment on Diesel . The business I'm in we have many Diesel tanks with dispensers on them up and down the country mainly to fill up HGV's etc.. It dawned on me as I was filling in exposure controls as part of the COSHH whether the tanks and pumps and associated equipment are serviced and maintained. I've searched a lot on the internet for information, perhaps a written scheme exists for inspections and servicing as per some sort of ACOP but I can't find any. If we own the kit the onus is on us to maintain but I'm unsure against which standards. I've been onto the EA and completed a search on the .gov.uk wensite but it yeilded 6000 plus results not very helpful. Any guidance appreciated
