29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(ii): Inspection and testing procedures did not follow recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. a. On or about April 26, 2019, the employer did not perform monthly testing in February and May 2019 to verify that the warning lights and audio alarms connected to the ammonia detectors/monitoring system function properly when activated; in accordance with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices, such as, but not limited to, the Sara Lee mechanical integrity program. b. On or about April 26, 2019, the employer did not perform annual testing of the audio and visual alarms connected to the ammonia detectors/monitoring system to assure that the alarms function properly when activated; in accordance with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices, such as, but not limited to, IIAR-2, 2014 Standard for Safe Design of Closed-Circuit Ammonia Refrigeration Systems Section 17.3.2. c. On or about April 26, 2019, the employer did not perform inspection and testing of the alarm connected to the continuous exhaust ventilation system to assure that the alarm functions properly in the event flow through the continuous exhaust stops; in accordance with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices, such as, but not limited to, the Sara Lee mechanical integrity program. d. On or about April 26, 2019, the employer did not perform testing of the safety cutouts on process equipment. At yearly intervals the safety cutouts for Ammonia Pumps V-2-P1, V-2-P2, V3-P1, and V3-P2 were not inspected for wear or damage which could affect its operation in accordance with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices, such as, but not limited to, IIAR Bulletin 110, 1993, Section 6.5.3 and the Sara Lee mechanical integrity program.
