As far as NFPA 77 is concerned for an emergency grounding field, get it under 1000 ohms. Thank you for this great video!

You do BJJ vids as well correct? Great instruction by the way.

[@moodyw06]

Do you have any written procedures you could share for comparison for jurisdictions looking to build an SOP?

[@deltahazmat1887]

Sorry for the slow response. Yes. Can you please message me on another platform? Stephan Kesting is pretty easy to find…

[@huypham1783]

How would you ground if the damaged tanker was on a highway and there was no soil nearby?

[@deltahazmat1887]

That would be very tricky. Longer conductive cables perhaps
