Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(B): Process safety information pertaining to the equipment in the process did not include the piping and instrument diagrams (P&ID's): a)The employer did not ensure that Process Safety Information (PSI) depicted on their P&IDs was up-to-date and accurate. The employer violated this standard on or about March 14, 2011 when set pressures for Hydrocracker Reactor safety relief valves: SV-020l020, SV-020l021, SV-020l022, SV-020l023, SV-020l024, and SV-020l025 were not correctly documented on the PMCDs (the employer's P&ID equivalent) as observed on safety valve tags in the field. This exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. The following PMCDs/P&IDs were deficient: A-26116-7-0115-702: The set pressures listed on the P&ID for safety relief valves SV-020l020 and SV-020l021 were lower than the set pressures observed on safety relief valve tags in the field. A-26116-7-0117-702: The set pressures listed on the P&ID for safety relief valves SV-020l022 and SV-020l023 were lower than the set pressures observed on safety relief valve tags in the field. A-26116-7-0119-702: The set pressures listed on the P&ID for safety relief valves SV-020l024 and SV-020l025 were lower than the set pressures observed on safety relief valve tags in the field. b)The employer violated this standard on or about May 27, 2011 when a CSHO review of the P&IDs showed the employer did not ensure that the Hydrocracker unit (HCLA) Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs) are complete and accurate. Drawing A-26116-7-0800-702 incorrectly shows the firewater flow direction in the system piping as a flow from the Blowdown Drum, D-115 to the firewater supply system. The correct direction of firewater flow is from the firewater system to the Blowdown Drum, D-115. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within 10 days, the employer must submit an abatement plan describing the actions it is taking to ensure that process safety information pertaining to the equipment in the process includes accurate and updated piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs). The violation must be abated no later than 10 days from the receipt of this citation.
