Guidelines for road tanker drivers’ emergency actions on road tanker loading racks

This document outlines recommended harmonised core emergency procedures to be adopted in the event of emergencies occurring at loading racks during the loading of petroleum road tankers. Observance of these procedures will encourage a consistent emergency response at all terminals and enhance the safety of drivers who load vehicles at installations operated by different companies. It is emphasised that the guidance is directed at drivers loading at host sites. Companies may also elect to issue modified guidance to their own drivers, adopting similar basic principles.
