PRLog -- Removal of a heating oil tank may sound simple enough. However, complacency with regard to safety regulation can cause serious injury, death and damage to residential and commercial properties. Smoking on worksite during a tank removal is a absolute danger condition and has caused many fatalities in this industry. Another serious safety concern is using non explosion proof electrical equipment inside a heating oil tank to remove sludge. Recently while supervising a oil tank removal for a client, a oil tank company was observed using a electric non explosion proof or NFPA approved shop vacuum. A leading cause of tank explosions during oil tank removal is improper tank inerting and using no approved tools when working in a petroleum rich atmosphere. Using a shop vac is lazy mans way of cleaning sludge from a heating oil tank and it puts bystanders and employees at risk in addition to not following OSHA Health and safety guidelines.
