  1. If possible, access to the facility grounds should be protected by a fence or other security gate system.
  2. At least once per year, retailers should assign someone to inspect their unloading and loading concrete areas for defects. These should be repaired immediately and all such areas should be covered in a sealant to prevent leaks if spills occur.
  3. As an added deterrent to unwanted visitors, retailers should install security cameras and bright lights on their grounds.
  4. All storage tanks outdoors should be diked for safety. Likewise for inside tanks, which should also be kept in secure buildings that restrict access to employees and known grower-customers.
