including blocking to avoid vehicle movement, connection of grounding systems, verification of proper hose connection and disconnection, adherence to no-smoking and no-naked light policies for visiting drivers; For unloading / loading activities involving marine vessels and terminals, preparing and implementing spill prevention procedures for tanker loading and off-loading according to applicable international standards and guidelines which specifically address advance communications and planning with the receiving terminal; Facilities should develop a spill prevention and control plan that addresses significant scenarios and magnitudes of releases. The plan should be supported by the necessary resources and training. Adequate spill response equipment should be conveniently available to address the most likely types of spills. Where appropriate, spill control and response plans should be developed in coordination with the relevant local regulatory agencies; Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs) should be located in a secure area, protected from potential collisions by vehicles, vandalism, and other hazards. Occupational Health and Safety Chemicals hazards associated with the handling of fuels and other chemicals may be controlled by applying the following measures (World Bank, 2007d): Corrosive, oxidizing and reactive chemicals should be segregated from flammable materials and from other chemicals of incompatible class (acids vs. bases, oxidizers vs. reducers, water sensitive vs. water based, etc.), stored in ventilated areas and in containers with appropriate secondary containment to minimize intermixing during spills Workers who are required to handle such chemicals should be provided with specialized training and provided with, and wear, appropriate PPE (gloves, apron, splash suits, face shield or goggles, etc).
