How is there no SOP for opening a tanker cap?

The only claim you will have against your employer is via Worker’s Comp.
Which is shite in Louisiana, I don’t know about other states but in Louisiana it’s crap. If you’re employer put you in that situation, don’t take shite, then hire a lawyer.

Comp is a type of tort reform with gives and gets for both sides. Workers give up the right to sue in tort but do not have to prove fault, in fact outside of certain things like intoxication the worker themselves can be fully at fault but still recover. Workers also do not have to wait until they reach MMI (maximum medical improvement) to have their medical bills paid and get their lost wages.
Companies avoid being sued for negligence and have the amount they have to pay out capped. Comp insurance though not cheap is FAR cheaper than if they had to hold general liability insurance for employee injuries.
It is typical of most types of tort reform both sides get something and both sides lose something but overall it is generally more to the long-term benefit of companies as they tend to make the largest political contributions.

Are you being vague on purpose? Was this an offload or a load? Which cap did you take off to expose yourself? Was this tanker different than usual and you didn’t know what you were doing as a result? I find it hard to believe a SOP doesn’t exist for general offloading or loading of a tanker truck. Did no one check the pressure on the tanker before you removed the cap? No bleeder to verify?
I’m sorry this happened to you though. Unfortunately accidents are inevitable. I hope you’re able to get something as long as you’re sidelined from work.

100%. Where are you located?

You sound pretty stupid so yes I’m sure our legal system will take good care of you.

Go see a workers comp lawyer. Sooner rather than later. If comp is not the primary part of their practice hire someone else. There are too many obscure rules and statutes to trust your case to someone who does not do it full time. I have been in the field for a long time and see this all of the time. I do not know how good your case is, just that you need a lawyer. Where do you live?

The fact that you’re coming to the OT for this tells me you’re an idiot.

So while you were being treated for burns from your workplace injury, your boss asked you to write an SOP for the dangerous job you were injured on because there was no SOP to follow.
frick him.

Just saw that you are from Louisville. I do not know anyone there but the advice remains the same. Their primary focus should be comp.

There was one fella who was burned worse than I, and they settled with him, and didn't get fired. Except, down the road he did, not showing up for work. Was passing away his cash at a strip club close to work, similar to She-She's or Onyx on Chef Hwy. Doing blow off of fat arses, shite like that

Is there a SOP to do a JSA for a task if you don't have a SOP? If so, did you do a JSA? Did a supervisor review it with you?
If they don't require a JSA for performing a task with readily identifiable hazards that do not have a SOP, then I'd say that's a problem...for them. But talk to a lawyer...
Bingo. It's not a straight forward Workers Comp if there was no JSA and SOP in place and boss just says "hey go open that tank when it's cooled down".
Most places have records of your Computer Based Training on every single task. These are updated annually if not more frequently to cover their asses. Seems there is none of that in this case.
OP you definitely have something here. But let the Union Rep advise you first. Don't hire an attorney if the Union goes to bat for you.
That way you may be able to keep your job AND collect a settlement. If you hire an attorney and don't go through Union channels, you'll be terminated ASAP.

No JSA, no SOP. Simply getting rushed into offloading the oil.
