Subject: Procedure for Tanker Loading & Unloading

1.0 OBJECTIVE:

1.1 Proper bulk tanker loading and/or unloading is crucial to the operational safety, and the
quality maintenance of chemical in general & Hazardous materials in particular. Banas
Resources LLP being in the business of transportation, processing and handling of
hazardous Industrial wastes & discarded Chemicals for producing AFR products to feed into
Cement kilns for CO-Processing; both people’s safety, environmental contamination and
product compatibility is of immense importance while doing the business operations for a
clean and safe environment.
This specific procedure is applicable to the tanker’s loading and unloading activities, that
broadly includes the pre-inspection of the truck, tanker, trailer, and equipment, and
verifying that the right tanker is loading/unloading the right material and transferring to the
designated storage tank/space with all safety precautions within the applicable regulatory
framework. It also requires an expert level of competence by the driver to pay attention
while the process is ongoing and spot potential issues before they develop to a probable
incident/near miss. The procedure besides highlighting the does and don’ts also provides
clear cut instructions for tanker unloading and loading within the premise.

2.0 SCOPE:

2.1 The scope of this procedure covers unloading and loading of liquid hazardous
waste/materials into the receiving tank and from the dispatch tank to the tanker.

3.0 PREREQUISITES

3.1 The following checks must be done prior to any loading and/or unloading process:

 Driver should be physically fit and certified. Vertigo related health issues are not present to
driver and personnel working with Tanker loading operations.

8 Procedure for Tanker Loading
8.1. Before Loading

Checks before Loading of Tanker:

a. Do Physical inspection, to ensure that, if all

the pieces of equipment you need for the
loading process are complete. Confirm that
there are no defects on the equipment, such
as leaks, broken springs, misaligned axles, and

so on. If there is any odor, look for the source

and try to stop it.

B Check all the trailer compartments to be sure

that they are completely empty. Properly
cleaned.

1. Confirm that you’re about to load the right

chemical.

8.2. During Loading

These are the loading steps when loading a liquid

bulk tanker:

1. Position your trailer on the proper loading

spot. Make sure it is positioned in such a
way that the drop tube goes vertically into
the tank and reaches as far down into the
tank as it can to reduce turbulence.
2. Turn off the engine of the truck. Every
other piece of electrical equipment, such
as the radio and lights, should be off too.
This precaution is most necessary if you’re
loading a flammable liquid because the
slightest spark could set off a fire.
3. Check to see if all compartment valves are
closed if you’re loading into a
compartmentalized tank trailer.
4. For the loading of combustible materials,
connect a grounding interlock to the truck.

The grounding interlock connects the truck
to the ground so that static charges can
flow into the ground where they pose no
risk of igniting the chemical. Do this before
you open the dome cover.
5. When loading into a compartmentalized
truck, only the compartment being filled
should be open. Others should remain
closed.
6. You’re all set for loading. But just before
loading, use the tip of the loading spout to
touch the truck some few feet away from
the loading hatch to ground any static
charges. Again, this step is important for
the loading of combustible chemicals.
7. Set the meter stop, if there’s one, to the
desired quantity to avoid overfilling.
Remember to leave some vacant space
(outage) for liquid thermal expansion.
8. Open the loading valve so that product
flow starts. Start with slow loading to avoid
static charges.

9. Never go too far away from the loading

truck while loading is ongoing. Avoid any
form of distraction. Your full attention
should be on the loading process.
10. Close the loading valve when the truck
trailer is filled, but leave the drop tube in
the tank for a few minutes to allow for
complete draining.
11. Close the dome cover.

12. Repeat these steps for every other truck
trailer compartment you’re loading.
Reposition the truck if necessary to make
sure all compartments are properly filled.
13. Disconnect grounding interlock.
14. Take a walk around your truck once again
to verify that every used equipment has
been returned to its proper place and
everything is as it should.
15. Drive the truck away from the loading spot
and report all malfunctions, if there were
any, to your supervisor.
