29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(D) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process shall include relief system design and design basis. A) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process did not include design calculations for relief system design and design basis for pressure safety valve, PSV-5510, which protects Amine Absorber, T-1310, at Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. This violation was identified during an interview with Technical Manager on August 17, 2010. The Technical Manager stated that the calculations for the over pressure relief scenarios for pressure safety valve, PSV-5510, did not exist. The Technical Manager submitted document, BWO UOSH-092-0003, which states that calculations for overpressure relief scenarios were not available. The PSI must be complete and accurate to enable the employees involved in operating the process to avoid exposure to highly hazardous chemicals. Not maintaining process safety information, such as but not limited to calculations for relief system design, prevents the employer from ensuring the adequacy of the relief system and could result in employee's exposure to hazardous chemicals. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all procedures throughout the facility. B) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process did not include design calculations for relief system design and design basis for pressure safety valve, PSV-5590, which protects Amine Reboiler, E-1390, at Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. This violation was identified during an interview with the Technical Manager, on August 17, 2010. The Technical Manager told the Compliance Officer that the calculations for the over pressure relief scenarios for pressure safety valve PSV-5590, did not exist. The Technical Manager submitted document, BWO UOSH-092-0003, which states that calculations for overpressure relief scenarios were not available. The PSI must be complete and accurate to enable the employees involved in operating the process to avoid exposure to highly hazardous chemicals. Not maintaining process safety information, such as but not limited to calculations for relief system design, prevents the employer from ensuring the adequacy of the relief system and could result in employee exposures to hazardous chemicals. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all procedures throughout the facility. C) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process did not include design calculations for relief system design and design basis for pressure safety valve, PSV-3307, which protects Acid Storage Tank, D-304, at Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. This violation was identified during an interview with Technical Manager, on August 17, 2010. The Technical Manager told the Compliance Officer that the calculations for the over pressure relief scenarios for pressure safety valve PSV-3307, did not exist.
