About the Goose Bay Tank Farm
Irving Aviation operates a jet fuel tank farm in Goose Bay Labrador. The facility is located in the community of Happy Valley, on Terrington Basin Lane.
Products handled at this facility include:
- Distillates – jet fuel
The following information outlines the potential effects of this substance in the unlikely event of an emergency.
- Distillate products are odorous combustible liquids. Distillates are a health hazard and fall under the “pool fire” hazard category under federal E2 Regulations. Distillates can release vapours that can form flammable mixtures. This can create an explosive atmosphere if an unplanned ignition occurs.
- Exposure to high concentrations of distillates by inhalation can result in headaches, nausea, dizziness, and/or a burning sensation in the chest. Direct contact can cause skin irritation.
- Distillates can contaminate soil and water if they are released to the environment.

At our Goose Bay Tank Farm, our emergency management plans are based primarily on prevention, with equipment inspection and maintenance programs in place.
