The increasing use of road traffic for land transportation has resulted in numerous road accidents and casualties, including those involving oil and gas tanker vehicles. Despite this, little empirical research has been conducted on the factors influencing tanker drivers' performance. This study aims to address this knowledge gap, particularly in the energy transportation industry, by examining the driving performance factors that affect tanker drivers and incorporating risk assessment measures.

The negative effect of oil vapors and oil products on health of crew of tanker fleet is a large-scale problem of shipping since safety of life and health of seamen is declared as essential value in implementation of production activity. The inert gases emitted during handling and transportation of oil products, in view of their toxicity, may result not only in acute intoxication but also in development of chronic diseases when inhaling harmful substances in moderate concentrations. The article considers main professional industrial factors that affect crew members of bulk-oil fleet, symptomatology of intoxication and initial care of crew members, application of personal cover when working with this type of cargo.

Cargo handling operations on board tankers pose a significant threat to the cleanliness and health of the ocean ecosystem. Incidents originating from these operations are often attributed to human error, as widely acknowledged. Therefore, it is crucial to control the human factor involved in these operations to enhance ship safety and foster a sustainable, clean marine environment.

Informal water sellers (commonly known as water vendors) have emerged as part of urban water infrastructure systems in many low- and middle-income countries to meet the water needs of unserved urban populations. These vendors include water tanker operators, those who sell water from private standpipes and boreholes, and those who use hand carts, bicycles, tricycles to transport water around for sale. However, we know little about the embodied impacts of their work on their health and wellbeing.

Article Synopsis
- Crude oil tanker operations carry a high risk of oil spills, prompting the need for a quantitative risk analysis to improve safety and reduce pollution during cargo loading.
- This study utilizes Bayesian networks (BN) alongside improved Z-numbers theory to assess risks and incorporate uncertainty effectively into expert judgments.
- Results indicate a 2.90% probability of oil spills during cargo loading, aiming to aid various stakeholders in making informed decisions that enhance operational safety and minimize spill incidents.
