Loading and unloading operations produce 8% of all accidents which
occur in process plants and in the transportation of hazardous materials.
A survey of 738 accidents was performed, allowing the identification
of the accident type distribution and of their cause. Some considerations
on flammable mixtures are also presented, and the procedures to avoid
these mixtures occurring when filling or emptying a tank are briefly
discussed.
