Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(i): The Process Hazard Analysis did not address the hazards of the process: The employer is failing to protect employees engaged in production activities throughout the facility. This was most recently documented where employees were exposed to chemical hazards associated with a catastrophic release of Ammonia in that the Process Hazard Analysis fails to address the quality of incoming Ammonia. The Appendix D - 2014 PHA "What-If" questions under the Charging Ammonia to System PHA Notes section does not address this requirement. 29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1) requires certification and documentation that the abatement of the above violation is completed.
