Shipping Docks and Transport Facilities
Benzene and related products are typically stored in drums and transported from manufacturing plants by tanker, railcar, barge, and/or truck to their destination. Workers involved in transporting benzene risk exposure, especially from leaks and spills and from benzene fumes emanating from the storage drums.
Truck drivers, bargemen, dock workers, and warehousemen are just some of the trades that risk benzene exposure during the shipping process.
