🚨 A tragic incident unfolded in Vadodara, where a coal tar tanker explosion resulted in casualties and raised serious concerns over the transportation and handling of hazardous materials.
While investigations are underway, incidents like these remind us that combustible materials like coal tar, when mishandled or overheated, can lead to devastating consequences—especially during loading, unloading, or thermal processing.
🛡️ Key Safety Precautions for Handling Coal Tar & Similar Hazardous Materials:
🔥 Temperature Control:
- Avoid overheating coal tar during transportation or discharge.
- Use automatic temperature cut-off systems.
⚙️ Pressure Relief Systems:
- Ensure tankers are equipped with working pressure relief valves to prevent buildup.
🧯 Emergency Response Planning:
- Equip unloading bays with fixed foam systems and dry chemical extinguishers.
- Conduct regular mock drills and fire scenario simulations.
🧪 Vapor Monitoring & Ventilation:
- Monitor flammable vapors during transfer.
- Provide adequate forced ventilation in enclosed areas.
🚛 Tanker Inspection & Certification:
- Strict compliance with PESO, NFPA, and transport safety norms.
- Routine inspections for corrosion, insulation, and valve integrity.
👷 Training & PPE:
-Train all handlers on coal tar hazards, fire classes, and first response protocols.
- Mandate flame-resistant PPE, gloves, and BA sets for transfer operations.
