FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS

Bulk Plants - Loading and Unloading Facilities

Bonding is a technique that protects against static sparks during the loading of tank vehicles through open domes. Bonding should be provided when:

Class I liquids are loaded

Class II or Class III liquids are loaded into vehicles which may contain vapors from previous cargoes of Class I liquids.

The OSHA Standard requires appropriate bonding equipment and procedures. Facilities for materials that do not have a static electricity hazard are not required to be bonded.

Class I liquids shall not be dispensed into containers unless the nozzle and container are electrically interconnected.
