29 CFR 1910.119(h)(2)(ii):The employer did not inform contract employers of the known potential fire, explosion, or toxic release hazards related to the contractor's work and the process: On or about July 27, 2021 workers at the LyondellBasell (LYB) chemical manufacturing facility in La Porte, Texas were exposed to process materials, toxic release, and flammable hazards from the Acetic Acid Unit when LYB did not inform its contractor (Turn2) that the Acetic Acid Reactor would not be de-inventoried and/or isolated from HV-117 while work was occurring on HV-117 and did not warn that the equipment arrangement and operating state creates an increased / elevated potential for unexpected energy release at HV-117 that could result in fire, explosion, and/or toxic release if the pressure boundary of HV-117 is compromised during their work.
