The ISS 'Chemi-safe' system removes human error via the use of trapped key interlocks.
Trapped Key Interlocks force the operator through a predetermined operating sequence ensuring that dangerous shortcuts and human error cannot cause environmental harm.
'Chemi-safe' forces the tanker driver to divert the bund drain valve to a storage tank prior to the connection of the diesel hose, ensuring if diesel spill occurs it will be safely captured in the underground storage tank and not find its way into the water table.
Chemi-safe removes the requirement for padlocks in conjunction with permit to work policies, which potentially still allow human error.
