With today's high tech equipment, reducing worker danger during tank cleaning led to using industrial robots to clean tanks. These are used in combination with virtual reality equipment that allows a worker to guide a robot through the cleaning process. Although this is relatively new technology, OSHA provides compliance guidelines for use of industrial robots.
