29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(B): The employer shall complete a compilation of written process safety information including information pertaining to the equipment in the process including piping and instrument diagrams (P&ID's): On or about July 13, 2017, the employer's P&ID's were not accurate and up to date: a) A bleed off valve on Compressor 9 (C9) between C9 and valve C9-05 was not depicted on the P&ID and was not tagged, labeled or identified on the system. b) Pump LR1-P1 below the Liquid Accumulator and Recirculator vessel (LR1) was not tagged, labeled or identified on the system. c) Pump LR1-P2 below LR-1 was not tagged, labeled or identified on the system. d) Valve LR1-09 located between globe valve LR1-08 and level sensor LR1-10 on the HTRL line was mislabeled as LR1-32 on the system. e) Valve LR1-44 located between angle valve LR1-43 and Evaporator 12 (EV12) on the HTRS line was mislabeled as LR1-09 on the system. f) Angle valve LR1-43 located between LR1 and EV12 on the HTRS line was mislabeled as LR1-41 on the system. g) The spring return ball valve LR1-38 of the LR-1 oil pot was not tagged, labeled or identified on the system. h) Liquid level sensor LR1-12 was removed from service yet remained on the P&ID. Portions of the insulation for the liquid level sensor remained on the system. i) A globe valve located on the system between EV14-18 and evaporator EV14 was not identified on the P&ID and was not tagged, labeled or marked on the system. j) Motor control valve GC1-06 was mislabeled as GC1-21 k) Labels on valves GC2-27 and GC2-28 were incorrectly exchanged. Labels on angles valves GC2-29 and GC2-30 were incorrectly exchanged. l) Valve GC2-08 was not tagged, labeled or marked on the system. The P&ID identified valve GC2-08 as a needle valve when it was actually an angle valve. m) A welded cap (or plug) shown on the P&ID between valve GC2-08 and GC2-07 on the LSS line could not been seen on the system and was confirmed not to exist on the system. n) Valve GC2-25 was identified on the P&ID as a globe valve, the valve was actually a hand expansion valve. o) Valve HPR1-13 was an auto closing shut-off valve; however, the P&ID "Valve Legend" did not contain an identification for an Auto Closing Shut-Off valve. p) Auto closing shut-off valve HPR1-12 was identified on the P&ID as an angle valve.
