A written procedure should be established to guide receiving personnel through the inspection process. There are two key elements to tanker inspections: documentation review and physical inspection. Documentation review includes bills of lading that list driver’s name, verification of driver’s government-issued license and company identification against the bill of lading, wash certificate verification, and seal numbers. Additional information that may be included, depending on the type of product, would be a list of the last three loads (products) hauled to ensure they were acceptable materials. The visual inspection is critical to verify the physical condition of the tanker and ensure proper cleaning was conducted. Inspectors must be able to access the top of the tanker safely. Appropriate measures, such as fall protection, should be provided in these load-out areas and appropriate tools, such as a shatter- resistant inspection light and a non-glass inspection mirror, should be available. When receiving personnel are inspecting the tankers, they should follow mandated policies to minimize the concern for contaminants to be introduced into the tanker. A detailed inspection of critical items should cover: • Verification of seal numbers prior to removing. • Interior of tanker – clean and free of cracks, corrosion or condensate. • Presence of off odors or any residual material in the tanker or on dome covers. • Inspection of all seals, gaskets, pumps, valves, hoses, and hose tubing for cleanliness, integrity, and proper capping. After the inspection is conducted, all results should be documented on an inspection form and signed by the individual conducting the inspection and receiving checks. These records should be maintained on file for an established period of time. Regulated products may require a specific record retention period. For unregulated products, it may be best to maintain records for a minimum of two years. Product loading should occur in a suitable area that is free of pest activity and will protect the tanker from possible contaminants being introduced when (Food safety continued on page 36) www.TankTransport.com OCTOBER 2018 I TANK TRANSPORT TRADER 35
