Why This Matters
These attendance requirements exist so that if a leak, spill, or fire starts during loading or unloading, someone capable of recognizing the danger and acting, including moving the vehicle, is right there instead of discovering the problem minutes later from across the yard. A momentary lapse, stepping away, being distracted, or not knowing the emergency procedure, defeats the entire purpose of requiring an attendant in the first place.
