Contributing activity / technique for workers

Contributing activity / technique for workers 1

Name of activity / technique:

Unloading into storage tanks or reaction systems at dedicated facilities. Unloading equipment and storage tanks are dedicated to propionitrile.

Process category (PROC):

PROC 8b: Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) at dedicated facilities
