During an oil transfer, who is responsible for ensuring that the posted transfer procedures are followed?

The designated person in charge has the responsibility of ensuring that the posted transfer procedures are followed during an oil transfer. This role typically includes overseeing the operation and making sure that all protocols are adhered to for safety and compliance reasons. The designated person is tasked with coordinating the efforts of the team and ensuring that everyone understands and follows the proper procedures to prevent spills and accidents.

While all team members present play an important role in the operation and must be aware of the procedures, the ultimate accountability lies with the designated person in charge. They are usually trained and familiar with the specific transfer procedures, and it is their duty to enforce these measures actively. The equipment operator and safety officer also have significant roles, but their responsibilities do not encompass the overall authority to ensure compliance with procedures. Instead, they focus more on their specific functions within the operation.
