Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(l)(4): Process safety information required by paragraph (d) of this section was not updated when a change covered by this paragraph resulted in a change in the process safety information: On or about June 9, 2021, at the location of 4719 NAVARRE RD. SW, Canton, OH 44706, process safety information was not updated to reflect changes in the process safety information: a) The CTI, GG-NH3 ammonia monitors (Serial number's 000187405 - HTA, 000187404 - SC4, 000187403-Mezzanine, and 000187406 -Mezzanine) were installed and have been in use since September 2020. The process safety information reflected the use of Greer ammonia sensors that were removed in September 2020. b) The employer failed to assure that the recently replaced CTI, GG-NH3 ammonia monitors were compatible with the existing engine room PLC (Allen Bradley - 1500) control panel that integrated the ventilation, ammonia monitors and emergency shut off. The control panel was inoperable. Employees were exposed to ammonia vapors and ammonia is a hazardous chemical that can cause respiratory irritation, unconsciousness and death.
