29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(iv): The employer did not document each inspection and test that had been performed on process equipment. The documentation did not identify the date of the inspection or test, the name of the person who performed the inspection or test, the serial number or other identifier of the equipment on which the inspection or test was performed, a description of the inspection or test performed, and the results of the inspection or test: 3a (a) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-01 Howe Compressor was not performed to evaluate "Drive condition (including guards)" at a frequency of Every Three (3) Months. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (b) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-03 Vilter Compressor was not performed to evaluate "Drive condition (including guards)" at a frequency of Every Three (3) Months. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (c) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-04 Vilter Compressor was not performed to evaluate "Drive condition (including guards)" at a frequency of Every Three (3) Months. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (d) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-06 Sabroe Compressor was not performed to evaluate "Drive condition (including guards)" at a frequency of Every Three (3) Months. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (e) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-01 Howe Compressor was not performed to evaluate "All safety cutouts" Bi Annually (every 6 months). This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (f) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-03 Vilter Compressor was not performed to evaluate "All safety cutouts" Bi Annually (every 6 months). This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (g) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-04 Vilter Compressor was not performed to evaluate "All safety cutouts" Bi Annually (every 6 months). This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (h) In the West Compressor Room, inspection of the WRC-06 Sabroe Compressor was not performed to evaluate "All safety cutouts" Bi Annually (every 6 months). This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (i) In the East Compressor Room, inspection of the EAC-03 Vilter Compressor was not performed to evaluate "Drive condition (including guards)" at a frequency of Every Three (3) Months. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (j) In the East Compressor Room, inspection of the EAC-4 Vilter Compressor was not performed to evaluate "Drive condition (including guards)" at a frequency of Every Three (3) Months. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (k) In the West Plant, monthly inspections were not performed in April, 2017 and May, 2017 of the Viking Pump, involving defrost and inspection of external condition. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (l) In the East Plant and the West Plant, monthly inspections of evaporators, such as but not limited to WPE-71 Vilter and Gebhart Evaporator located in the West Plant, were not performed which included inspection and cleaning finned heat exchanger surfaces. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." (m) In the East Plant and the West Plant, weekly inspection of evaporative condensers, such as but not limited to EEC-03 Imeco Evaporative Condenser Located in the East Plant, were not performed to address water conditions, pan strainers, and purge air. This was not consistent with the employer's "Mechanical Integrity Program for Compressors, Condensers, Pumps, Evaporators, and Motors." 3b (f) Inspections of the WEC-04 BAC Evaporative Condenser on the roof of the West Plant have been incomplete in that Refrigeration Operators have been unable to check fan belt tension. Because of the lack of guardrails to enable safe access to the front of the condenser, Refrigeration Operators have not been able to check and adjust fan belt tension. 3c (a) On the East Roof, piping deficiencies identified by the preventive maintenance (PM) East Roof Check inspection performed on or about February 27, 2017, involving frayed defrost condensate piping, including but not limited to EPE - 07,08,09, were not corrected.
