The European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and the European Chemical Transport Association (ECTA) have developed guidelines for the safe logistics of chemicals. Given Directive 89/391/EC (OSH "Framework Directive") and International Commercial Terms (INCOTERMS), the unloading site is responsible for among other things, the correct connection/fitting of product hoses to the storage silo.
Loading to the incorrect silo results in contamination of both the delivered product and the stored product in the silo. If unidentified at the point of mixing, this error may cascade across the value chain, resulting in poor-quality products and the extended wastage of other materials used during the production process.
Other losses may include equipment damage due to exposure or conditions resulting from said product/mixture, harm caused to operator life and well-being, cascading delays and losses through the product value chain, and if unidentified, reputation damage due to the supply of contaminated product.
