Wendy Buckley, President and CEO of STARS HazMat Consulting, appeared live on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking News to discuss the risks associated with chemical offloading operations.
The conversation focused on why offloading requires more than connecting equipment and transferring product. Safe operations depend on clear communication, accurate product identification, compatible equipment, proper securement and connection practices, trained personnel, and procedures that account for what can go wrong before transfer begins.
Buckley also discussed the importance of coordination among drivers, facility personnel, carriers, and consignees so that responsibilities are understood and hazardous-materials transfers are performed safely.
