This video highlights safe work practices for fluid transfers from tanks to tanker trucks. From 2016-2020, at least 12 oil and gas worker fatalities occurred during transfer of process fluids due to known hazards and risks including: inhalation of hazardous gases and vapors, oxygen deficiencies, fires and explosions, and heat stroke. This video explains that all process fluids (wastewater, flowback fluids, condensate, and crude oil) should be considered potentially hazardous. Recommendations for employers and workers are consistent with the hierarchy of controls, with a focus on engineering controls, administrative controls, and the proper and consistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Engineering controls include best practices from the American Petroleum Institute (API) such as proper venting, bonding, grounding, and the use of conductive hose. Administrative controls include the development and use of job safety and health analyses and worker training. PPE includes multi-gas monitors, impermeable gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
