2.24 explain the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, eg when fuelling aircraft and tankers

When a large electrostatic charge builds up it can create a spark. When refuelling vehicles the fuel rubbing along the pipe can cause an electrostatic charge, if this sparks if could ignite the fuel causing a fire or explosion. (This can be avoided if the charge is brought to earth by a wire attached to the plain or tanker)
