Summary
Hazard alert addressing toxic and flammable vapours, hydrogen sulphide and oxygen displacement during vacuum loading and offloading of produced fluids. It assigns responsibilities to facilities, hauling companies and drivers, covering atmospheric monitoring, training, conductive hoses, bonding and grounding, safe vent discharge and prevention of diesel-engine runaway.
Classifications: Explosion; explosive atmospheres.
Classifications: Hazardous substances; hazardous chemicals; chemical exposure.
Classifications: Hydrocarbon release; hydrocarbon leak; oil and gas release.
Classifications: Hydrogen sulphide; H2S; H₂S; hydrogen sulfide.
Classifications: Oxygen deficiency; oxygen deficient; oxygen displacement; oxygen depletion.
Classifications: Fluid transfer; fluid loading; fluid offloading.
Classifications: Gas detector; gas monitor; gas detection instrument.
