1-10 Specific Safety Hazards - Cont'd.
1-10.28
CAUTION
SHARP ROCKS OR OBJECTS
Sharp rocks or objects should be removed from the operating area to prevent damage to hose. They
must be removed from the tank pad area within the tank berm to avoid damaging the fabric tank.
Damage to hose or tanks can cause severe spills.
1-10.29
CAUTION
TANK BERMS
Tank berms must be kept in good repair. Integrity of the berms is necessary to contain a tank spill and
isolate the resultant fire hazard to a single, relatively small area.
1-10.30
CAUTION
ELECTROLYTIC CORROSION
At various and numerous locations aluminum pipe and fittings are in contact with ferrous metals such as
the malleable iron coupling clamps. The aluminum adjacent to the ferrous metal should be inspected
routinely for evidence of electrolytic corrosion. If corrosion is causing leakage or if pitting or metal loss is
in excess of 1/16 inch, the aluminum pipe, fitting, or valve should be replaced. Electrolytic corrosion is
accelerated in damp salt air atmospheres.
