  • vapor/gas freeing, degassing, and ventilating;
  • sludge and residue removal;
  • unique tanks (>200 ft diameter, double bottoms/walls, low-pressure tanks, and conservation tanks);

  • control of ignition sources;
  • air monitoring equipment; and
  • floating roof hazards.

This standard does not and cannot cover every possible hazard or situation that may arise during tank cleaning operations. Site-, product-, and tank-specific hazards and situations must be addressed by employers using the appropriate principles and considerations provided for by this standard.
