29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(iii): The process hazard analysis did not address the engineering and administrative controls applicable to the hazards and their interrelationship, such as, appropriate detection methodologies to provide early warning of releases: The employer does not ensure the process hazard analysis addresses the engineering and administrative controls applicable to the hazards and their interrelationship, such as, appropriate detection methodologies to provide early warning of releases. In the Zone 2/CAT Wickes Boiler Area the employer did not ensure the 1992 and 2008 Process Hazard Analyses addressed the engineering and administrative controls applicable to the hazards and their interrelationships such as the appropriate methodologies to provide early warning where employees were exposed to fire and explosion hazards from potential releases of fuel gas and other flammable liquids or gasses for occurrences such as but not limited to: a) Loss of burner pilot during the initial start-up of the boiler burner. b) Loss of burner flame. c) High or prolonged fuel gas flow to the burner without a pilot or flame present. d) Failure of the burner to light. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure the process hazard analysis addressed the engineering and administrative controls applicable to the hazards and their interrelationships such as the appropriate methodologies to provide early warning.
