WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

It is mandatory that the safety precautions prescribed in FM 10-20 be followed whenever a bolted steel tank is being

disassembled, repaired, or reassembled.

If a tank has been used for petroleum products, it must not be used for potable water.

If a tank is to be used for potable water storage, do not apply sealing compound or sealing putty to the tank sides or

bottom.

Scaffold boards must be tested on the ground, prior to being installed in the scaffold, to be sure they are sound and free

from defects. Nail overlap of scaffold board together. Install a guard rail on all scaffolding. Securely tie rope safety

railing to each post. Individually, they are not resistant to lateral bending; but tied together, they form a strong resistance

to lateral and outward bending .Adiagonal line from the top of every 4th or 5th post to the bottom of the adjacent post is

also recommended .Do not install guard wire supports over stave chine-lap seams or deck lap seams.
