What must an operator do after each unloading operation?

After each unloading operation, it is essential for an operator to visually check the delivery-hose assembly. This step is crucial for ensuring safety and preventing potential hazards. Inspecting the delivery-hose assembly helps the operator identify any signs of wear, damage, or leaks that could pose risks during the unloading process or in subsequent operations.

This proactive measure enhances safety protocols and contributes to the integrity of the LPG distribution system. Regular checks of the delivery-hose assembly can prevent accidents, leaks, and spills, which can have serious environmental and safety implications. Operators must prioritize these visual inspections to maintain an effective standard of safety in their operations.

While recording the amount delivered and inspecting the cargo tank for leaks are important tasks in broader operational procedures, they do not specifically address the immediate need to ensure the delivery-hose assembly is in good condition after unloading. Similarly, actuating the emergency stop valve is not a standard requirement after unloading operations. The focus on the delivery-hose assembly provides a direct link to maintaining operational safety at the end of each unloading process.
