RAILCAR SAFETY ISSUES

The crash box railing on a liquid tank car is not a handrail system. At only 30 inches high it does not adequately protect workers from falling over the top of the railing as they work.

There is no mid rail on a crash box which results in a gap larger than the 19” maximum allowed by OSHA for elevated work surfaces. Operators can easily slide under the railing.

Ladder openings in the crash box provide a major fall hazard as there is nothing to prevent an operator from falling through this opening.

The ladders on a liquid rail car are extremely difficult to climb, especially when burdened by tools or inclement weather.

CAGE VS. FULL ENCLOSURE

Improving Safety While Increasing Throughput

Potential Issues with a 12” [1’-0”] Deep Safety Cage Application for Railcars:

• The 12” deep cage is designed only to supplement the height of the railcar crash box rails to 42”. The gap beneath the crash box rail normally exceeds 19”.

• Due to varying crash box dimensions (length & width), there is a potential for a horizontal gap larger than 12” on the sides of the cage. Furthermore, there is also potential for the cage to land over the top of the railcar dome depending on the configuration causing a misalignment with railcar access opening and therefore interfering with hatches inside the crash box.

• Dimensional fall gaps, as mentioned above, are listed in OSHA 1910 Subpart D - Walking-Working Surfaces.

By

enclosing the entire crash box, Carbis Solutions can help protect your operators completely within our guardrail system, thereby eliminating gaps over, under, and around the crash box.

Safety cage not accommodating off-set crash box on railcar

A 12” safety cage brings the crash box railing up to a 42” handrail height.

Crossovers, pipe bridges, and access ramps provide safer means for workers to get where they are needed most.

Our

Carbis Solutions can help design and supply all of the equipment for your complete rail system to increase your throughput, protect your operators, and serve your needs for years to come.

Lighting, safety showers, canopies, and operator sheds are all available to make your solution work for you.

access racks provide efficient access to at-height work areas.

Tracking gangways allow the operator to adjust the access point to accommodate minor mis-spotting.

RAILCAR MISSPOTTING

How Are You Handling This Life-Threatening Issue At Your Facility?

When a railcar is in the wrong position, safety equipment can be an obstacle rather than a tool. Ask us about how we can help keep your workers safer and products flowing.

Comments we hear from operators:

“As long as I do my job the boss doesn’t care about safety.”

“I can work around the problem if the railcar is not exactly right. I’ve done it hundred times.”

Railcar loading and unloading is dangerous when employees don’t understand proper railcar fall prevention techniques. Mis-spotted railcars and improper orientation may force employees to engage in activities that they normally wouldn’t, such as climbing over railings or having to leave the fall prevention enclosure.

“Once it’s in position I’m not going to move it.”

RAILCAR SAFETY

METAL TRACK PANS

Help Meet Your Environmental Requirements

We can build your custom spill pan solution. Carbis Solutions spill pans can be any specific length or provide end-to-end pans that are continuous in coverage. Railcar pan systems include one center and two side pans linked with a cross drain for full width coverage. A center pan only system with a drain, that is between the rails is used in staging, storage, or in areas that connections are along the center belly of the car. We use heavy-gauge metal pans because they are stronger and last longer.

• Galvanized

• Stainless steel

• Aluminium

Your facility is a busy place, and the last thing you want to worry about is spill compliance. With spill pans from Carbis Solutions, you do not have to fret about environmental compliance during the material handling process.

POLYMER TRACK PANS

Manufactured To Meet Your Specific Needs

If metal pans do not meet your requirements, we offer a composite materials as well. All the fasteners in these systems are made of stainless steel to maximize resistance to corrosion, and the gaskets are made of neoprene rubber, unless another material is requested.

Prevent Spills with a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan

Facilities meeting the criteria outlined by the EPA must develop and implement an SPCC plan to prevent oil spills. As detailed by the SPCC rule, the following tactics or precautions help prevent environmental damage and protect public health from an oil spill.

• Using the appropriate containers for storing certain oils (e.g. storing gasoline in a flammable liquids’ container)

• Providing overfill prevention for your oil storage containers by using a high-level alarm or audible vent

• Using the appropriate secondary containment, like a dike or a remote, for bulk storage containers

• Utilizing general secondary containment, like drip pans or curbing, to catch oil spill at transfer points between mobile refuelers and tanker trucks

• Periodically visually inspecting aboveground pipes and leak testing buried pipes and containers (Note: Document these inspections in the SPCC plan)

Facilities risk contaminating the environment, harming employees, and incurring significant costs for clean-up should a spill occur without an SPCC plan in place. Facility owners and operators without an SPCC plan face fines from the EPA of up to $27,500 per day for non-compliance.

A false sense of security can lead to injuries - or worse. By installing tracking gangways, workers can overcome minor mis-spotting issues without loss of time or having to move the truck.

How are you handling this life-threatening issue at your facility?

This issue occurs because:

■ You have the wrong equipment

■ The truck is mis-spotted

■ The equipment is damaged

■ The driver is not trained properly

TRUCK MIS-SPOTTING

Comments we hear from drivers:

“I’m not repositioning my truck. I can handle the cage covering the hatch.”

I’m not going to fall... I know what I am doing.”

“This is the way I have always done it.”

“I don’t have time for that!”

You can have the absolute best solution in place, but if the truck is not accurately spotted, it will not work.

When Accidents Happen

In the case of liquid product movement, it usually takes the form of drive-offs and impact damage. Often operators will continue to utilize damaged equipment to get the job done – putting themselves at risk. In this photo, it is obvious that the cage shown has taken such an impact. Continuing to utilize damaged equipment endangers your workers, your process, and your plant. In the event of an impact incident, contact Carbis Solutions EVEN IF the equipment seems fine. A Carbis Solutions Representative will walk you through how to evaluate for hidden damage and help you get back up and running smoothly.

DRIVE-OFF PROTECTION

Help Prevent Costly And Time Consuming Accidents

Accidental drive-offs are expensive for your business and dangerous for your workers. At Carbis Solutions, we offer drive-off protection solutions to help reduce the risk of accidents in your facility.

You spend thousands of dollars purchasing the very best access equipment, plus many man-hours researching your options. Then, in a few seconds, an accidental drive-off can take your loading rack out of action!

BARRIERS

Our drive-off prevention barriers offers a cost effective way of preventing trucks leaving loading spots with costly access equipment not in the stored position. By establishing a barrier in front of the truck your loading rack you can help avoid premature drive-offs.

LIGHTS

One of the major benefits of Carbis warning lights is they offer a simple, yet highly effective way to alert your drivers when equipment is not ready for a drive-off. By implementing a warning light system at your loading rack you can help avoid premature drive-offs. Warning lights can be added to any of our fall prevention systems to warn drivers when equipment is not in the stored position before they drive away.

At many job sites, moving a single shovelful of dirt involves careful planning, permits and can be very expensive. The new Foundationless Loading Rack from Carbis Solutions, can get your system up and running without ever lifting a shovel.

Bolt - Together vs Welded Which is right for you?

Choosing between welded or bolt-together construction is simple. Bolt together units are ideal in areas where the unit must be moved up stairs, in elevators, and around narrow corners. The tradeoff is that when it is in place it must be bolted together. For most configurations, this is a simple process that can be completed in a couple of hours. In situations where a crane or lift can be used to place a welded unit in location, the welded solution is the better option. Simply place the finished unit in its usage location and it is ready to go.

Lad-Saf™ X2 Detachable Cable Sleeve

Every day, workers around the world climb ladders to great heights to get their job done. Working at height is hazardous and requires constant attention to safety. A fall can happen at any time and on any structure during the climb going up or down.

Part of a permanently installed ladder safety system, the Lad-Saf X2 Detachable Cable Sleeve with dual independent locking systems is a portable connection device that connects the worker’s harness to the ladder cable and glides freely up or down the cable as the worker climbs. Once attached, the sleeve does not require any further handling by the climber. It is designed to work with many different styles and lengths of ladders on structures like wind turbines, communication towers, buildings, water towers and more.

RFID Equipped

Fast and easy scanning of RFID tag improves management of the safety equipment inspection process.

Swivel End

A more manoeuvrable swivel provides the user with increased mobility while climbing.

Features and Benefits

Easy to Climb

Automatically follows the climber during ascent or descent.

Easy to Install and Detach

One-handed attachment or removal from the cable delivers fast, easy and safe connections. Can be attached anywhere along the cable for added versatility.

Dual Independent Locking System

In the event of a fall, the sleeve is designed to lock onto the cable and arrest the fall, and to remain locked until the worker can regain his footing or be rescued. Even if the first means of locking is compromised, the second will still engage to arrest the fall.

Integrated Energy Absorber/Fall Indicator

Deploys in the event of a fall, limits the maximum fall arrest force to 1,350 lbs. (6 kN) or less, and shows the device must be taken out of service.

Compact and Corrosion Resistant

Compact and lightweight stainless steel construction stands up to harsh environments.
