Unloading at the raw material tank area
Thread Content
When unloading at the raw material tank area, is it the driver who performs the operation or the process personnel?
It is the personnel in the company’s tank area who operate it; once the vehicle driven by a regular driver has stopped, they should leave the site
Around us, there are drivers operating them, and there are technicians operating them as well.
Generally, even after parking their vehicles, drivers cannot leave the scene
Still, referring to the major accident: the leakage and explosion at Linyi Jinyu Petrochemical was caused by the driver’s improper operation
We have analyzed the advantages and disadvantages. The operators want to do less work to save effort, while the drivers want to unload the cargo quickly so they can rest more. As a result, the driver installed it even though they were not familiar with the specific loading and unloading interfaces. Accidents generally don’t happen, but it’s scary just in case.....
It must have been the technicians who operated it; the driver didn’t have a valid operating license.
The drivers are not capable of handling this task; the logistics department has dedicated staff for loading and unloading vehicles. Some time ago, a colleague from Jinyu Petrochemicals visited our company, and he said that management there is in a chaotic state. Safety is more important than production; it’s better to have dedicated personnel.
In our company, usually the driver installs the quick connection first, and then the operator carries out the operations; the driver cannot leave the site.
I think it’s better for the driver to operate while the loading/unloading staff supervise; in every factory, there should be more vehicles than loading/unloading staff. It is necessary to foster a sense of safety responsibility among personnel involved in loading and unloading vehicles.
