11 22.0 SWITCH LOADING Switch loading is the term used to describe the operation on which a tank or compartment is filled with a high flash point product (e.g. fuel oil, diesel after it has contained a low flash point product - e.g. gasoline). 1. Make sure all product from the previous load is completely drained from all compartments, piping, pumps, meters and hoses. If any portion of the system doesn't drain completely then it is to be flushed with the product to be loaded. If you are using a pail to drain the unit it is preferable to put the pail on the ground, but if the pail is to be hung from the faucet make sure the plastic or wooden handle has been removed and that the pail is bonded to your unit, and in turn your unit is also bonded. All product drained is to be dumped into the pail-dumps that are situated at the end of the loading racks as per the site-specific orientation. Ground the pail to the pail-dump and dump the product inside the pail-dump PROCEDURE DEVIATION Deviations from this standard operating procedure must be authorized using the Management of Change procedure.

Discipline for Infractions: Discipline will be guided by the severity and frequency of the infraction and guided as such by the CPPI Discipline Matrix. Failure of a driver to observe any of Suncor's Bulk Terminal rules or procedures, or any careless or unsafe behaviour of a driver may result in a letter of reprimand to the driver's employer setting out the breach or careless/unsafe behaviour. Continuing infractions of terminal rules and regulations by the same Driver, will result in escalating discipline consequences, up to the driver's loading privileges being permanently suspended from ALL Suncor Terminal facilities. All costs, including rack downtime, administrative fees, and all other associated costs with any incident involving a breach of the Terminal rules or procedures or any careless or unsafe behaviour by a driver shall be for the account of the Suncor customer employing the driver.
