Narrative
On monday, april 13, 2020, a 40-gallon release of diesel fuel occurred at the manhattan products south facility in manhattan, il. The release occurred when the drain valve on the outgoing scrapper trap was left open while the scraper trap was being filled in preparation to launch an ili inspection tool. Product backed up in the facility common drain header and overflowed out of the sample building sink. The team leader had spoken with the technician several times throughout the day and had no reason to believe the technician was under the influence of any drugs or alcohol while on site and performing work for bp. In addition, the technician is currently caring for his elderly father who has severe health issues. Given the team leader's interaction and for the sake safety of the employee and his family, bp determined it would be best to limit the potential exposure to covid-19 by not sending the technician to a clinic for drug and alcohol screening.
