Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(1): The employer did not perform a complete initial process hazard analysis (hazard evaluation) on processes covered by this standard. a) Ethylene Oxide Continuous Plant, Croda-Atlas Point.- On or about November 25, 2018, the employer failed to perform an adequate initial PHA that was based on detailed design P&IDs when its 2015/2016 PHA prior to startup was based on information that pre-dated the Revision 0, set of P&IDs that were issued for construction. Incorrect or outdated P&IDs (e.g. Issued for Construction version) do not allow the employer and the employees involved in conducting PHAs or operating the process to identify and understand the hazards posed by the EO process exposing employees to the hazards of toxic and fire/explosion hazards.
