1-10 Specific Safety Hazards - Cont'd.
1-10.23
WARNING
MAJOR SPILLS
Major spills can be caused by tank, line, or hose breaks or by operating error. When a major spill occurs,
isolate the area and take action to contain the spill if it is outside a tank berm or firewall. Pump or
otherwise get the spilled liquid into an appropriate transportable tank and dispose of it outside the
operating area.
1.10.24
CAUTION
VEHICLE DAMAGE TO HOSE AND EQUIPMENT
Install well-covered roadway crossing guards to prevent vehicles from damaging hose.
Ensure adequate traffic control procedures in operational areas so that accidental damage to hoses,
berms, tanks and other equipment does not occur.
1-10.25
CAUTION
DAMAGED, PIPE, FITTINGS, VALVES
Damaged pipe, fittings, and valves must be inspected by a qualified person immediately and removed
from service if damage is severe enough to justify it. When a pipe, fitting or valve shows a visible crack
or substantial leakage stop operations immediately and remove the equipment from service.
1-10.26
CAUTION
CUT OR SCORED HOSE
Consider cut, scored or badly deformed hose to be unsuitable for service. Replace at first possible
opportunity. Broken or leaking hose must be depressured and replaced immediately. Failure to do so
can result in a failure of operations at an inappropriate time and in the creation of a severe fire hazard.
1-10.27
CAUTION
DAMAGED FABRIC TANKS
Damaged fabric tanks must be removed from service and repaired or replaced promptly. Failure to do
so can result in a major spill.
