Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: REFINERY

29 CFR 1910.119(c)(1) Employers shall develop a written plan of action regarding the implementation of the employee participation required by this paragraph. (A)The employer did not develop a written employee participation plan of action which included information on how employees will be consulted on the development of all PSM standard elements. This violation was identified during inspections of the facility from May 2010 to September 2010, Big West Oil LLC., 333 West Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT, 84054. The company's Written Employee Participation plan of action was requested and reviewed by UOSH. Upon review, this policy states: "Big West Oil LLC policy is to include employees in the development of PSM policy and procedures." Big West Oil LLC's employee plan of action does not explicitly address all of the 14 process safety management (PSM) elements. Items not explicitly addressed include, but are not limited to: Operating procedures, Contractors, and Trade Secrets. By not developing a written employee participation plan of action for all PSM elements, site specific information and hazards may be overlooked, thus exposing employees to conditions that may result in serious injury or death. This occurrence may be system wide and would require evaluation in all applicable areas of the refinery.
