You have just loaded a cargo of Toluene and are about to clear the lines into the ship. What particular hazard must you be aware of with this product?
It is a carcinogen but has a relatively high odor threshold value. Personnel may not readily detect any vapour that is ejected through the vent risers and should therefore use filter masks while this operation is in progress.
