On-Site Fuel Tank Safety

Flammable and combustible liquid fuel tanks can be found across Alberta; at your local gas station, hospital, or mechanic’s shop. These tanks store a variety of chemicals, can be installed above-ground or underground, in all geographical areas and come in various shapes and sizes.

The Alberta Safety Codes Authority’s (ASCA) Storage Tank Systems Management is a division of the Safety Codes Council. One of ASCA’s duties is to oversee storage tank system compliance in unaccredited areas of the province. This compliance is verified through permitting and inspection, in accordance to nationally and provincially adopted safety codes.
