However, most incidences appear to occur in transportation, particularly during the loading and unloading process. Common failures include puncture by forklifts, nails, impact with sharp objects, abrasions and structurally damaged drums. Although loading and unloading processes may take place in bunded areas, many operations are not bunded particularly when working out in the field during loading and unloading. When punctures happen, liquid contaminants can spread quickly risking safety to workers, the environment, expensive clean-up costs, fines and increased insurance premiums.
