Critical observation observed by PESO and circulated to Oil
Company of series for incident at Retail Outlet. :

 Use of plastic hose pipes for unloading purposes.

 Use of hose pipe fitted with metallic pipe (bent pipe) at the disc end.
 Use of hose pipes not conforming to OISD 135.
 No proper tightening of hose connections using screwed/cam lock couplings.
 Collection of leaked petroleum through hose pipe connection at the tanker
discharge faucet end in the plastic bucket kept on the ground below.
 Non provision of electrical earthing /bonding by means of flexible cable
between tanker chasis and earth boss/fill pipe.
 Lack of proper training to the retail outlet staff regarding hazards associated
with the petroleum road tanker decantation operation in the retail outlets.
Recommendations advised by PESO and circulated to Oil
Company of series for incident at Retail Outlet. :

 Ensure that transfer of petroleum takes place only through electrically

continuous sound hose having oil tight couplings at both ends.
 Couplings of the hose at the discharge ends of the tank trucks as well as at
the fill pipe end of the underground tank shall not leaky.
 Unloading operation should not commence without ensuring earthing of the
tanker body to a proper earthing point. For this purpose , a proper earthing
points shall be provided near filling points.
 Before commencing unloading operations tanker should be parked in the
retail outlet in such a manner that it can be taken out of the retail outlet
immediately in case of emergency.
 Dip pipe of the underground tank shall not be kept open during unloading
operations.
 The dealer , supervisors and pump attendant shall be trained in all respect of
safety in RO including the provisions of petroleum rules in chapter iv on
electric installation, rules 117 to 119,122,125 and conditions 6 to
12,15,16,18to21 of license form XIV for the RO’s under the said rules.
Recommendations advised by PESO and circulated to Oil
Company of series for incident at Retail Outlet. :

 Before starting unloading of petroleum , it must be ensured that at least a

safe distance of 3 M kept clear of any kind of movement of other vehicles
that come for fuelling and that there is no source of any spark in the area. In
case of retail outlets that are in congested areas operations of fuelling
automobiles in the retail outlet may be discontinued.
 Detailed SOP,s of loading/unloading may be prepared and displayed
prominently in terminals and in the RO’s at appropriate locations.
 Surveillance mechanism may be introduced for verification of safe practices
in the terminal and the retail outlets so as to ensure that the safe operating
procedures in respect of loading/unloading operations are implemented
strictly..
