- Damage to your reputation: A tanker accident or spill can damage your reputation and make it difficult to do business.
- Loss of customers: Customers may be reluctant to do business with a company that has a history of tanker accidents or spills.
Compliance
Road tankers are required to be inspected and tested regularly in accordance with ADR regulations. Having your tankers inspected and tested ensures that you are compliant with the law.
Safety
Damage or defects that could lead to leak or failure can be identified through regular testing. This allows you to prevent any accidents, protecting your staff, the public and the environment.
Cost Savings
Regular inspections reduce expenses as they can identify minor issues before they become critical, allowing you to repair them before they escalate.
