Why Safety Comes First at Tankline

 At Tankline, we don’t just apply coatings—we work in some of the most challenging environments in the industry:

  • Confined spaces
  • Live sites with chemical hazards
  • Elevated tanks and bunds
  • Industrial facilities with ongoing operations

In these environments, safety isn’t just a checklist—it’s a culture. Here’s why it’s at the core of everything we do.

High-Risk Work Needs High Standards

Lining tanks, bunds, and process areas involves a unique set of risks:

  • Hazardous chemicals
  • Confined space entry
  • Hot spray equipment
  • Working at height
  • Electrical grounding for spray rigs
  • Volatile surface prep tools (grinders, shot-blasters)

Without strict controls and well-trained operatives, the consequences can be severe. That’s why we treat safety as seriously as the technical job itself.

Our Safety Commitments

Trained & Certified Operatives Every Tankline team member is trained in:

  • Confined Space Entry (with rescue plans)
  • PASMA, IPAF & Working at Height
  • Manual Handling, Face Fit, COSHH
  • First Aid 
  • ICATS
  • EUSR

We also carry out in-house toolbox talks and dynamic risk reviews before each job.

Detailed Method Statements & Risk Assessments

Before we even arrive on site, we produce tailored RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements) specific to:

  • The Method of works
  • Task Specific risk assessment with stringent control measures 
  • Site access
  • Environmental and client-specific hazards

We also ensure COSHH and SDS sheets are readily available for all materials to our site application teams

Specialist Access & Safety Equipment

  • MEWPs with trained operatives
  • PASMA Acess Towers 
  • Confined Space rescue equipment
  • Portable extraction & ventilation
  • Grounded spray equipment to prevent static discharge
  • Ex rated tools when working in zoned environments
  • PPE tailored to the tasks

Respect for Live Client Sites

We understand that many of our clients work in:

  • Food production
  • Utilities & water treatment
  • Fuel & chemical storage
  • Commercial manufacturing

We can operate with full containment where required and we always plan to minimise disruption during our works.

It’s Not Just About Compliance — It’s About Care

Yes, we meet all legal requirements. But for us, safety isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about looking after:

  • Our team
  • Our clients’ operations
  • The environment around us

When a project runs safely, it runs smoothly, on time, and without complications.
