Due to the flammability and explosiveness of the transported goods, the safety of the tanker is undoubtedly the top priority that every driver and passenger must pay attention to. Oil tanker trucks must pay attention to safety issues during transportation. Although the current technology and quality of oil tankers are getting better and better, and the tanks are equipped with submarine valves (emergency shut-off valves), some uncontrollable factors still need to be Notice

 

Here are five suggestions for safety issues during tanker transportation:

 

 

1. To prevent burning and explosion caused by electric cremation, pay attention to the following three points

① All kinds of electrical equipment used in the oil depot and all workplaces must be explosion-proof, the installation must meet the safety requirements, and the wires must not be broken, exposed or short-circuited.

②. Over the oil depot, it is strictly forbidden to cross high-voltage wires. The distance between the oil storage area and the barreled light oil warehouse and the electric wire must be more than 1.5 times the length of the pole.

3. For the rails leading to the oil depot, an insulating baffle must be installed in front of the storage port to prevent the electric sparks from flowing into the oil depot from the rails from the external power supply.

2. To prevent metal friction from generating sparks and causing combustion and explosion, pay attention to the following four points

①. Strictly implement the relevant provisions of the warehouse and operation area. It is forbidden to wear spiked shoes or shoes with iron palms to enter the oil depot, let alone climb oil tanks, oil tankers, oil tankers, oil tank cars and step on oil drums, and ban mules, horses and iron wheels from entering the depot area.

②. It is not allowed to tap the lid of the container with iron tools. When opening the lid of the vat and the tanker, use a copper wrench or an alloy wrench that will not cause sparks when colliding.

③. Metal containers should be prevented from colliding with each other in the warehouse. It is even more impossible to roll oil drums without washers on the concrete floor.

④. During the oil handling operation of the tanker truck, it is necessary to avoid the collision of the unloading crane pipe when inserting and pulling out the tank opening or the tanker hatch. Any place where there is oil and gas, can not touch ferrous metals.

3. To prevent burning and explosion caused by the accumulation of oil vapor, pay attention to the following three points

① It is strictly forbidden to repair and weld unwashed oil drums, oil tanks, oil tanks and other storage containers. The cleaned container should be opened for ventilation before preparing for welding, and a visual explosion should be carried out if necessary.

②. The barrels of light oil stored in the warehouse should be checked frequently and replaced in time if leakage is found. Warehouses, cargo sheds and receiving and dispatching rooms for barrels of light oil should maintain air flow.

③. In underground and cave oil tank areas, strictly prevent oil leakage, install ventilation equipment, maintain good ventilation, and avoid oil and gas accumulation.

 

 

4. Cut off the fire source and pay attention to the following five points

①. It is strictly forbidden to bring matches, lighters or other kinds of fire into the oil depot, oil storage area, and oil delivery operation area. Strictly control the flow of fire sources and open flame operations.

②. Fireworks are strictly prohibited in the oil depot. When open flames must be used for repair operations, it must be reported to the relevant departments for review and approval, and safety precautions must be taken before starting fires.

③ Before cars and tractors are put into the warehouse, a fireproof cover must be added to the exhaust pipe, and the engine should be extinguished immediately after parking.

④. When the railway locomotive enters the warehouse, it is necessary to attach an isolation car, close the ash box baffle, and not to clean the furnace in the warehouse area or stay in the non-operation area.

⑤ When the tanker is docked at the wharf, it is strictly forbidden to use open flames. Fire sources are not allowed on board.

 

5. Pay attention to the following four points when controlling combustibles

① It is necessary to prevent oil spillage from the oil storage container of the tank truck. The running, running, dripping, leaking, and oil spills that occur in the operation of loading and unloading oil products in the tanker should be promptly removed and dealt with.

②. After the oil tanker unloads the goods, it is strictly forbidden to pour the oil, sludge, waste oil into the sewer for discharge, and should be collected and placed in the designated place for proper disposal.

③. All flammable substances should be removed from the vicinity of buildings such as oil tanks, warehouses, pump rooms, oil distribution rooms, and oil blending workshops.

④. Oil-stained cotton yarn, oiled rags, oiled gloves, oiled paper, etc. used for oil tanker maintenance and maintenance should be placed in a covered iron bucket outside the workshop and removed in time.
