| 摘要： | About 5:14 a.m., eastern daylight time, on June 29, 1998, at Stock Island, Key West, Florida, a Dion Oil Company driver was on top of a straight-truck cargo tank checking the contents of its compartments and preparing to transfer cargo from a semitrailer cargo tank when explosive vapors ignited within the straight-truck cargo tank. The ignition caused an explosion that threw the driver from the top of the truck. The fire and a series of at least three explosions injured the driver and destroyed the straight truck, a tractor, the front of the semitrailer, and a second nearby straight-truck cargo tank. Damage was estimated at more than $185,000. The safety issues discussed in this report are the adequacy of Dion Oil Company's product-transfer procedures and training, the adequacy of the Federal Highway Administration's oversight of motor carriers' procedures and training for loading and unloading hazardous materials, and the adequacy of Florida's oversight of the fire safety of storage tanks. As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued recommendations to the Federal Highway Administration, Dion Oil Company, the Florida State Fire Marshal, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida Department of Agriculture, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the National Fire Prevention Association, the National Association of State Fire Marshals, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs. |
