Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: EXPLOSION
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(2)(i)(D) Information concerning the technology of the process did not include the safe upper and lower limits for such items as temperatures, pressures, flows or compositions: (a)Suncor Energy (U.S.A.), Inc., 5801 Brighton Blvd., Commerce City,Colorado: On or about November 4, 2008, and at times prior thereto, the process safety information for the technology of the process for pressure vessel W-1 in the #1 Crude Unit contained inaccurate information on the safe upper operating limit for pressure (i.e., 45 psig). Employees are exposed to fire and explosion related hazards as a result of the potential for overpressurizing pressure vessels such as W-1 and W-4. One feasible means of abatement would be for the employer to ensure that their process safety information contains all information concerning the technology of the process, including the safe upper and lower limits for such items as temperatures, pressures, flows or compositions. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").
