Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that the equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. At a worksite at 3800 E 32nd Street, Joplin, MO 64804: The employer failed to protect employees because the employer did not document that the equipment complies with the employer's chosen recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP). This was last demonstrated on or about October 20, 2022, and at times prior to that. This included but was not limited to ANSI/IIAR 2 -1999 Section 7.1.4 when the ammonia piping system associated with, EC-1, EC-2, C-3, C- 5, HPR, HTR1, LTR1, LTR1-RP1, and LTR1-RP2 located on the roof on P&ID R706 was not labeled with the following information: "All piping mains, headers, and branches shall be identified as to the physical state of the refrigerant (that is, vapor, liquid, etc.), the relative pressure level of the refrigerant, and the direction of flow." This hazardous condition exposed employees engaged in repairing, replacing, operating, inspecting, testing, and maintenance activities of covered process equipment to toxic, cryogenic, and fire hazards in the event of an anhydrous ammonia release.
