Why Did it Happen?
� The barrier system did not fully protect this specific type of tanker
� This type of tanker is unusual
� The loader was not aware he was reaching the edge of the walkway

Lessons?
� Designing gantry or barrier systems for loading a range of tanker types is not easy!
� Commissioning of such systems needs to check against the full range of tankers to be loaded
� Loading teams need to check every single time that it is safe to load– Does barrier system provide protection for this
type of tanker?
– Is the tanker correctly positioned?
– If not – don’t load the tanker – turn it away!

What should you check at your
site?
� Take a fresh look at any tanker loading or unloading operations you have
� Are they suitably protected from falls from height?
� Do you know your protection system will work with all types of tanker received at your Site?
� Would your team recognise the risk and be prepared to turn away a tanker if it was not safe to work on?
