Safety, health violations rampant at filling stations - Moagi

Presenting his Committee of Supply in Parliament yesterday, Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security minister, Lefoko Moagi said prior to BERA’s establishment, compliance to standards among filling stations was mostly voluntary. BERA had since then made compliance mandatory. 

“Most of the non-compliance was around lack of adherence to environmental protection, lack of leak monitoring wells,  lack of oil separators at retail sites and lack of understanding of safety precautions by petrol attendants,” he said.
