Ensuring Safe and Efficient Transfer of Crude and Refined Products
After crude oil is extracted, it must be transported and refined into usable petroleum products. Once refined, these products are then distributed to storage terminals, fuel depots, and end users. The majority of transportation in the oil and gas industry involves moving crude oil and hazardous liquids to and from refineries using trucks, railcars, and barges.
SafeRack provides refinery loading platforms, oil refinery loading arms, and refinery bulk fuel loading solutions to support the safe and efficient transfer of crude and refined products such as sulfur, LPG, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel, fuel oils, asphalt, naphtha, and blended gasoline. Whether handling truck and railcar loading safety solutions or ensuring compliance with OSHA refinery safety equipment regulations, SafeRack’s solutions help facilities improve workflow, minimize risk, and maintain compliance.
Refineries require reliable safe access platforms for refinery maintenance to protect workers navigating the complex maze of equipment and piping found in industrial facilities. SafeRack’s safety gates provide essential fall protection for refinery workers, securing access points such as ladders, elevated workspaces, and other hazardous openings. Our full range of OSHA-compliant refinery safety solutions enhances efficiency while ensuring safe, seamless operations across all refinery processes.
