If you’re a shipper who cares about your product’s supply chain, the safety practices of your terminal partner are paramount. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are the first step in keeping people safe and your product moving efficiently. They lay out exactly how the transload process should be performed, step by step, from the moment a rail car arrives at a terminal to when the product leaves. When Twin Eagle Terminals and Logistics creates an SOP, every movement is scrutinized, conducting a risk analysis along the way. Whether it’s Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), transload equipment inspections, or employee tasks, nothing is left ambiguous.
As thorough as SOPs can be, working in the field brings unforeseen hazards including severe weather, equipment breakdowns, wildlife, and more. Planned and unplanned emergency drills are another crucial tool used by Twin Eagle Terminals and Logistics to navigate the least expected. Ensuring that employees know where to go, who to call, and what to do can mitigate the risks in an emergency situation. In addition, Twin Eagle Terminals and Logistics keeps drills realistic and treats each one of them as a learning opportunity. Not only is it important to identify areas for improvement, but also to recognize and reinforce the proper procedures.
By driving a culture of preparedness, honest evaluation, and continuous improvement, Twin Eagle Terminals and Logistics sets the bar for transloading and terminal operations.
