Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(B): The employer's piping and instrument diagrams were not accurate and did not represent equipment that was existing and was part of the process. At a worksite at 3800 E 32nd Street, Joplin, MO 64804: Employees engaged in repairing, replacing, operating, inspecting, testing, and maintaining covered process equipment were exposed to toxic, cryogenic, and fire hazards in the event of an anhydrous ammonia release. This was last demonstrated on or about October 20, 2022, when the holding freezer had two Frigid Coil/Iemco brand evaporators that are 23.6 tons of refrigeration capacity each, had been added to the existing ammonia system. This was not reflected on an updated P&ID R-703 for FR-1, FR-2, FR-3, FR-4 and associated valve groupings, EC-1, EC-2, C-3, C- 5, HPR, HTR1, LTR1, LTR1-RP1, and LTR1-RP2 which are all equipment associated with this project.
