The purpose of the checklist is to demonstrate the complexity of the unloading operation and the need for a checklist to ensure the hazmat employee assigned to unload the tank car understands the requirements to ensure the transfer is conducted safely. This checklist is fully customizable to develop a facility's site-specific evaluation to ensure that it meets specific safety measures for that facility's requirements. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires a rail cargo tank car on American railroads be protected against movement or coupling before opening any closure on the freight car. The relevant regulations state that a hazmat employee responsible for unloading a tank car must take certain actions. Specifically, they must secure access to the track to prevent entry by other rail equipment, must place safety caution or hazard signs on the track to warn persons approaching the cars, they must verify the handbrake is set on the car and must block at least one wheel of the tank car against movement in both directions. Personnel involved in unloading operations of rail tank cars containing hazardous materials must be trained and certified per appropriate transportation regulations both for their safety and the safety of those around them.

Don't take our word for it...

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
