5.6. Cleaning of the Vehicle
After transporting certain ma-
terials which are dangerous to
human health, it is too risky
for health to enter to the tank
for cleaning. Only enter to the
tank if it is absolutely neces-
sary. Before entering to the
tank, perform a gas measure-
ment according to the appli-
cable regulations.
Make sure the tanker vehicle is clean by
checking it on a daily basis.
These controls should be applied espe-
cially to couplings and to equipment
used for loading and discharging. Dirt
and product residues should be cleaned
immediately.
Warning signs, reminders and sticky la-
bels should be kept clean.
Damaged and invisible signs and labels
should be replaced as soon as possible.
Make sure that the tanker is
cleaned by authorized servi-
ces and cleaning firms that
are specialists on cleaning the
tankers.
Before Cleaning the Tanker Vehicle:
•
Make sure that the tank has been
fully discharged and that there is no
product residue left in the fittings,
couplings and hoses.
•
Make sure that the tank is
depressurized,
•
Make sure that potential conductors
are connected.
Product residue can mix into
the air line. Product residues
mixed in the air lines can cau-
se products that are subse-
quently
loaded
to
become
sticky or contaminated, which
can cause considerable mate-
rial damage. Depending on
the products loaded, the air li-
nes should be cleaned.
Incompatible cleaning agents
can damage the tank and its
sealants.
Only
cleaning
agents that are compatible
with the tank and its sealants
should be used.
Air Lines:
•
If the air lines are also to be
cleaned, all the valves must be
opened before cleaning begins.
