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. On or about October 14, 2020, the employer's process hazard analysis (PHA) failed to identify and evaluate the hazards involved in the process associated with the "not in service" isobutane manifold system. In particular, the flange was missing bolts and, valves were tagged "not in use" but they did not alert the operator of the potential for isobutane released upon opening. Employees are exposed to chemical hazards associated with potential isobutane release.
