Safe Loading and Transportation of Bulk Solvents By Road

ESIG has again cooperated with the UK Solvents Industry Association (SIA) to produce a solvent-related safety film, entitled, ‘Safe Loading and Transportation of Bulk Solvents by Road’.
Designed to support hauliers, drivers and site operators, this short film encourages best practices in the transport of solvents and bulk transfer between vehicles and storage vessels.
The film was shot over a three-day period at sites in the Netherlands and the UK, and covers everything needed to ensure the safe loading of solvents and flammable liquids, including:
• The hazards associated with solvents and solvent-based materials
• Pre-delivery inspection
• Arrival on site and induction
• Adherence to site rules and understanding emergency procedures
• Using the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Safe connection to loading gantries and storage vessels
• Communication between site operators and drivers
• Safeguards against static discharge and spills
• ADR requirements for vehicles and drivers
Available in five languages, this film follows previous productions from ESIG and the SIA, which include, ‘Safe Use of Solvents’, ‘Solvents and IBCs’, ‘Solvents and Static Electricity’ and ‘Solvents and the Safe Use of Gloves’.
