Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(v): The Process Hazard Analysis did not address facility siting. On or about 16 July 2012, and at times prior thereto, the employer's Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) did not consider facility siting for temporary buildings, such as mobile trailers, that were located approximately 30 to 50 yards from the anhydrous ammonia storage area, exposing personnel working inside the trailers to ammonia hazards. At the time of the inspection, a contractor had mobile trailers on site, while they were performing maintenance on the scrubbers in the area. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure the PHA considers facility siting and the placement of temporary structures around or near the ammonia system.
