🔍 Key Concepts

• static electricity generation in petroleum cargo operations • effects of movement, friction, and separation of liquids and solids • how multiple mechanisms can contribute to the same hazard

💭 Think About

• For each listed operation, ask yourself: does it involve movement, friction, splashing, or separation of materials that could let charges build up? • Think about which of these activities cargo-handling guidance warns you to control or slow down to reduce static hazards. • Consider whether exam questions on safety hazards often focus on just one cause, or on recognizing that several different actions can create the same risk.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, identify whether charge separation (one part becoming more positive, the other more negative) is likely to occur. • Recall that high velocities, turbulence, and splashing in petroleum systems are classic contributors to static buildup. • Before choosing, confirm whether the question is asking for one example or all applicable causes of the hazard.
