Please note that the EI publishing department has moved to a new print supplier for 2021. The option to purchase Hard Copies of our publications has been suspended until the New Year, when we will be making select areas of the catalogue available again.

The guidance is not meant to be prescriptive and alternative methods of controlling the risks of fire and explosion may be followed where these provide an equivalent level of safety. However, if this guidance is followed, site operators will normally be able to demonstrate their compliance with the law.
This guidance was written by the Petroleum Enforcement Liaison Group (PELG). PELG aims to facilitate an appropriate and consistent enforcement by petroleum enforcement authorities (PEAs) through the dissemination of circulars (PETELs), guidance and good practice. In 2012, the EI became the sponsoring organisation for PELG; we provide Secretariat support, but are not formally represented on PELG. Please contact PELG to receive further information: PELG@energyinst.org.
