Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(3) The employer did not review operating procedures as often as necessary to assure that they reflect current operating practice: (a) On or about December 3, 2009 and at times prior thereto, ExxonMobil Billings Refinery, 700 ExxonMobil Road, Billings, MT, did not review the Emergency Procedures in Section 8 of the Crude Operating Manual to assure that the table for the furnace shutdown causes for low crude charge flow in Section 14 reflect current operating practice. Crude Unit employees are exposed to fire and explosion hazards as a result of inaccurate safety information for the furnaces. One feasible means of abatement would be to ensure that operating procedures are reviewed as often as necessary to assure they accurately reflect current operating practice.
