After cleaning an atmospheric tank with steam, it was quenched with cold water to shorten the cooling time (not normal practice). The tank vent was not designed to withstand the vacuum created during the rapid cooling process, which caused the tank to collapse. A larger vent was installed after the incident.
Ask yourself and your crew:
- How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
- What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
- How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
- What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers or the way we work?
