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

29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1): The employer did not develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for safely conducting activities involved in each covered process consistent with the process safety information: The employer does not ensure that written operating procedures are developed and implemented to provide clear instructions for changing temperature alarm setpoints for high temperature separator (HTS), 30-V-1. This violation occurred on or about August 5, 2013, and at times prior thereto, in the Naphtha Hydrotreater (unit 30); where employees were exposed to inhalation, fire, and explosion hazards from potential releases of hazardous materials without developed and implemented written operating procedures to provide clear instructions for changing temperature alarm setpoints for following instances. a. High high and process high alarm temperature setpoints were changed from 500F to 440F and from 500F to 430F respectively. These temperature alarm setpoints are associated with a temperature indicator (30-TI021) which indicates temperature of the stream from a heat exchanger (30-E-1C) to HTS (30-V-1). b. High high and process high alarm temperature setpoints were changed from 600F to 440F and from 500F to 430F respectively. These temperature alarm setpoints are associated with a temperature indicator (30-TI035) which indicates temperature of the stream from a heat exchanger (30-E-1A) to HTS (30-V-1).
