29 CFR 1910.119(d)(2)(i)(E): Process safety information pertaining to the technology of the process did not include an evaluation of the consequence of deviations, including those affecting the safety and health of employees: The current Clay Center Consequences of Deviation from Safe Operating Limits in the Process Safety Information (PSI) element of the Process Safety Management (PSM) manual such as but not limited to the NH3 Pressure - Tank Storage was not evaluated in details to adequately address consequences of deviation and steps with clear instructions to correct or to avoid deviation. The current Action Required Section did not incorporated detail and clear information for the technicians to understand and act on it accordingly to bring the deviations back to the normal conditions. Employees were exposed to catastrophic release of ammonia which result in asphyxiation, explosion and flash fire leading to death and injury to persons in and near the station. 29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1) requires certification and documentation that the abatement of the above violation is completed.
