What Is A Tankerman?
A tankerman oversees the transfer of liquid cargo aboard oceangoing tankships or inland river barges. This cargo can consist of dangerous liquids or liquefied gases, such as gasoline, crude oil or liquid natural gas.
A careless coworker, a broken valve, a defective safety device or even a lack of training may be all it takes to trigger a disaster.

Section Close DIVCommon Injuries In Tankerman Accidents
A tankerman must be capable of lifting heavy equipment, climbing stairs and ladders, and moving around small or difficult to reach areas of a vessel. Consequently, their job often puts them into potentially hazardous situations with a high risk of serious, or even fatal, injuries.
