Protect Employees During Tank Cleanings

AlphaTec® Breathable, Reusable Chemical-Splash-Resistant P.P.E. Clothing

Barges, silos, highway tankers, rail tank cars, manholes, lift stations, above ground and underground storage tanks, waste oil tanks, process tanks are used routinely to store and/or transport material. It is very important that all storage units remain in good condition to continue safely.

Scheduling regular maintenance and removing sludge or sediment is traditionally handled by trained professional tank cleaners referred to as confined entry space technicians. These professionals are certified and equipped to enter and clean hazardous work environments for capacity loss, change of product, API inspections, maintenance, repairs and more.

High-risk hazards are part of industrial tank cleaning. It involves humans going into the tanks where they will be exposed to chemicals, fungi, bacteria that could affect the long-term health and safety of workers and can contribute to the spread of disease.

Every day, tank cleaners across the country work in dirty, hazardous and challenging environments. Are you protecting them properly?

Selecting the appropriate chemical protective clothing can be very complex. Besides the specific chemical(s) encountered, other aspects such as the concentration, temperature of the chemical, mixtures of chemicals, flammability, toxicity etc. must be considered. So does heat build-up.  Anytime an operator covers his or her body with an impermeable protective barrier, it creates burdensome heat that can compound with elevated temperatures. Together, this could result in dangerous heat-stress.

ALPHATEC® IS ADVANCED CHEMICAL PROTECTION CLOTHING
