PREVENTING FALLS FROM ROAD TANKERS

In relation to tanker loading the easiest and most practical way to load liquids and powders into a road or rail tanker or an ISO container is to fill them from the top (top loading). By its very nature this requires the operator to work at height, to access the man-way lid or fill point, to manoeuvre the filling equipment into position and to control the loading of the tanker. Other operational tasks such as batch sampling, inspection, maintenance and testing also require working at height on tops of the tankers. The petroleum industry have converted all their terminal distribution to bottom loading and this has had the secondary effect of reducing the risk of a fall from height to zero, as all loading and unloading is now done at ground level. <a href="https://medium.com/@ifcinflow1/preventing-falls-from-road-tankers-b35a68610b2c">Visit Now</a>
