Industrial Safety Conditions for the Operation of Dangerous Substance Storage Tanks

Abstract

Not only the construction, but also the commissioning, operation and decommissioning of atmospheric hazardous liquid storage tanks with a capacity of more than 5 m3 are subject to strict regulations. Several authorities are involved in the relevant permitting procedures, but the goal is common, the operator has to prove safe operation. There are many aspects of disaster management and industrial safety in the documentation and control of non-hazardous operation and test methods. The author describes the system of technical and organisational conditions necessary to prove the safe condition, presenting in detail the role of the acting authorities.
