1910.119(j)(4)(iv): The documentation of the inspection or test that had been performed on process equipment to maintain its mechanical integrity did not identify the serial number or other identifier of the equipment on which the inspection or test was performed and the results of the inspection or test: (a)Employees were exposed to the hazard of a potential leak of large quantities of anhydrous ammonia in that the employer did not have required inspection documentation associated with their process safety management program. Documentation of ammonia piping inspections that were conducted in September of 2007, October of 2007, and May of 2011 contained only the data points measured and did not include any documented analysis of the piping condition such as corrosion rates, life expectancy, or any other information that rated the fitness for service of the piping sections as determined on or about January 10, 2012. (b)Employees were exposed to the hazard of a potential leak of large quantities of anhydrous ammonia in that the employer did not have required inspection documentation associated with their process safety management program. Documentation of the 2010 and 2011 annual ammonia equipment inspection done per IIAR-110 (International Institute for Ammonia Refrigeration - Startup, Inspection and Maintenance of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigeration Systems) did not identify the vessels inspected using the identifier numbers used by the Marmet, WV site as determined on or about January 10, 2012. (c)Employees were exposed to the hazard of a potential leak of large quantities of anhydrous ammonia in that the employer did not have required inspection documentation associated with their process safety management program. Documentation of the 2011 annual ammonia equipment inspection done per IIAR-110 (International Institute for Ammonia Refrigeration - Startup, Inspection and Maintenance of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigeration Systems) did not include the deficiencies found by the inspector as determined on or about January 10, 2012. (d)Employees were exposed to the hazard of a potential leak of large quantities of anhydrous ammonia in that the employer did not have required inspection documentation associated with their process safety management program. Documentation of the 2010 and 2011 annual ammonia equipment inspection done per IIAR-110 (International Institute for Ammonia Refrigeration - Startup, Inspection and Maintenance of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigeration Systems) did not include information on whether several pieces of equipment passed or failed specific written criteria that was being evaluated by the inspector as determined on or about January 10, 2012.
