Xmo Strata has used XmoMan - claimed to be the most sophisticated asset management software of its type and developed by the company's own IT staff - to analyse 674 health and safety related incidents that occurred on petrol station forecourts.

According to the report 53.1% of the incidents - 358 - relate to contractors working on site. A further 27.6% - 186 - relate to issues that could have been identified and/or mitigated by site staff, which, according to the researchers, indicates a need for training.

Only 13.4% - 90 - relate to issues caused by members of the public. Overall 29% of health and safety issues relate to electrical installation or maintenance - and only 6% relate to driving.
