FAQ
SafeRack’s OSHA-compliant loading platforms, gangways, and fall protection systems are designed to minimize fall risks and exposure during bulk chemical loading and unloading. With features like self-leveling gangways, safety cages, and spill containment systems, our solutions ensure safe access while protecting workers from hazardous materials.
Yes, SafeRack’s loading systems are built with chemical-resistant materials such as marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel to withstand exposure to corrosive and hazardous substances. Our solutions are designed to safely transfer acids, solvents, fuels, and other bulk chemicals while maintaining environmental compliance.
SafeRack offers integrated spill containment systems, including track pans, drip pans, and spill berms, to capture leaks and prevent hazardous materials from contaminating the environment. Our grounding and bonding systems also reduce the risk of static discharge, further protecting workers and the facility during chemical transfer operations.
Absolutely. SafeRack’s vehicle grounding and bonding systems ensure a secure connection before product flow begins, helping to prevent static discharge—a leading cause of fires and explosions in chemical handling. These systems are essential for maintaining OSHA and NFPA compliance during bulk chemical loading and unloading.
Yes, SafeRack provides customized loading solutions tailored to the specific needs of chemical plants, refineries, and bulk transport facilities. Our experts can design systems that incorporate specialized gangways, spill containment, and fall protection to meet your unique operational and safety requirements.

North America’s largest loading terminal
As one of the primary railcar loading points, Hardisty is one of the major crude oil hubs in North America and a major origination point of pipelines that export to the United States. SCS was asked to supply and construct a SafeRack crude oil loadout terminal spanning nearly half a mile. The USD Hardisty terminal can load up to two 120-railcar unit trains per day and consists of a fixed loading rack with 62 railcar loading positions enclosed, separate control, operator, and mechanical buildings, as well as a unit train staging area and loop tracks capable of holding multiple unit trains simultaneously. SCS also supplied and installed boom-supported loading arms with supply and vapor management systems.

Emergency Eyewash and Safety Showers
Staying Compliant with ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 – 2014
In the event of chemical exposure, immediate access to emergency eyewash stations and safety showers is critical to prevent permanent eye damage or chemical burns.
According to ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 – 2014, eyewash and drench showers must be:
- Located within 10 seconds or 55 feet of hazardous materials
- Positioned on the same horizontal plane with no obstructions
- For bottom loading/unloading operations, an additional shower should be placed at grade level
SafeRack provides ANSI-compliant eyewash stations, drench showers, and additional safety equipment to help facilities maintain compliance and protect workers during bulk chemical loading and unloading operations.
