JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS
 Slip, trip or fall due to climbing
over pipes and around valves.
 Contamination due to incorrect
alignment and no product or
wrong product flowing into tank.
 Burns, equipment damage or
hose failure as a result of hoses
disconnecting due to pressure
build up in unloading hose due to
header valves not being open or
lines being plugged.
 Bodily injury should hose come
off cable during lowering.
 Burns due to leaks or spills from
no gasket or tears in gasket in
hose connection.
 Burns from asphalt due to water
inside of unloading hose causing
hose to become over-
pressurized.
 Burns from leakage due to faulty
or open bleeder valve.
 Collapsed tank due to vacuum
seal.
 Bodily injury to those in the area
due to collapse of tank.
 Bodily injury smashed fingers
from heavy lid.
 Blockage of pump or hose due to
not running at pump at proper
speed.
 Burns from splashing of hot
asphalt and spill should hose
disconnect under pressure.
 Fire, explosion or burns caused
by open-flame heating of hose
valve should it hose get clogged.
 Fire, explosion or burns caused
by open-flame heating of hose
valve should it hose get clogged.
 Spill or burns from hot asphalt
due to overpressure and hose
disconnect because of wrong
valve alignment.
 Damage to tanker truck from
incomplete unloading.
 Spill or burns from hot asphalt in
hose if valve left open and begin
to disconnect.
 Spill or burns from hot asphalt
due to pressure in hose not being
relieved through bleeder valve.
 Use proper walkways;
avoid uneven surfaces.
 Verify proper tank/valve
alignment.
 Verify header valves are
open.
 Use of proper PPE.
 Lower unloading hoses
slowly.
