Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(5): The employer did not establish a system to promptly address the team's findings and recommendations; assure that the recommendations were resolved in a timely manner and that the resolution was documented; document what actions were to be taken; complete actions as soon as possible; develop a written schedule of when these actions were to be completed; communicate the actions to operating, maintenance and other employees whose work assignments were in the process and who may have been affected by the recommendations or actions: The employer is failing to protect employees engaged in production activities throughout the facility. This was most recently documented where employees were exposed to chemical hazards associated with a catastrophic release of Ammonia in that the employer is failing to provide document that it has communicated all the findings and recommendations of the 2000 Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) initial study, the 2004, 2009, and 2014 Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) revalidation studies to the Ammonia Department employees such as, but not limited to the Plant Engineer, Maintenance Supervisors, Skilled Specialists - HVAC, Skilled Specialist - Electrician, and Skilled Specialist - Electronic Technician. 29 CFR 1903.19(c)(1) requires certification that the abatement of the above violation is completed.
