Boil-over during full surface tank fire

Published on 28/10/22 1192 Views

During a full surface tank fire, a boil-over occurred when water below the flammable liquid was heated above its boiling point and suddenly vaporised.

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?
