Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.119(g)(2): Refresher training was not provided at least every three years, and more often if necessary, to each employee involved in operating a process to assure that the employee understands and adheres to the current operating procedures of the process. On or about 16 July 2012, and at times prior thereto, employees were operating and maintaining the ammonia system for the SCR/DeNOx unit without receiving Process Safety Management (PSM) refresher training at least every three years or as needed based on employee retention of the training. a) An example for the need to have refresher training was evident while discussing the changeout of a pump. The employee indicated that a PHA would need to be done, but did not mention or consider the need for a Management of Change (MOC) if the pump was not a replacement-in-kind. The employee was not aware of what was an MOC. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure refresher training is conducted at least every 3 years or more frequently based on feedback from employees or an evaluation of such knowledge.
