The employer does not ensure inspections and tests are performed to maintain the on-going mechanical integrity of process equipment followed recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP). The violation occurred on or about April 26, 2013 and times prior thereto in the Ammines Cylinder Filling Area where the employer failed to ensure inspections and tests were performed on amines piping in accordance with RAGAGEP such as API 570.
