The Fuel Safety Hub

The Fuel Safety Hub is a public resource that helps individuals, businesses and organisations access trusted fuel safety information from recognised authorities. It promotes responsible fuel handling through education, collaboration and access to trusted guidance and technology. It will be launched for 2027

It is an open invitation to collaborate on an evidence gap that affects public safety, environmental protection and loss prevention in the UK. It will help objectively prioritise scarce resources for social good.

Developing an Evidence-Based Framework for Estimating and Reducing Domestic Fuel Handling Incidents in the United Kingdom

Make recognised good practice accessible

Expert guidance exists from different organisations that focus on different aspects of fuel safety:

HSE focuses on legislation, legal duties and safe storage.
Fire & Rescue Services focus on fire prevention and safe handling.
Insurers focus on loss prevention, spill reduction and risk management.
Manufacturers focus on individual products.

There is no clear owner of the problem

Understand the fuel ecosystem intricacies

Handling fuel safely involves a varied ecosystem of stakeholders; public, private, corporates and individuals;

Staying safe relies on a mix of appropriate behaviour, awareness and technology
Visible consequences from errors can be dramatic and costly
Hidden consequences can stay unmeasured, out of mind and still be frequent enough to impact us all every day

Better data can give us better direction

Collaborate for better outcomes

The Fuel Safety Hub can

Engage the ecosystem to gather and react to data that improves decision making
Reinforce best practice that already exists
Spotlight local thought leadership supporting local industry and local technoogy
Make a difference to people, property and the planet
