Agency inspections are a routine part of operating a bulk fuel facility, but that doesn’t make them any less stressful. In this episode of Tank Talk, Shannon breaks down what inspectors are actually looking for, how facilities can prepare ahead of time, and the common issues that can turn a smooth inspection into a difficult one. 

From recordkeeping and staff preparedness to housekeeping, secondary containment areas, and spill response equipment, this episode walks through practical steps terminal managers can take before inspectors arrive on site. Shannon also shares insights from her time as a former state inspector, including real-world examples of inspection responses that help - and ones that definitely don’t. 

Whether you’re preparing for a Coast Guard, EPA, or State of Alaska inspection, this episode offers straightforward guidance to help your team feel more confident, organized, and ready.
