Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(i): The process hazard analysis did not address the hazards of the process: International Cushioning Company, LLC located at 2101 Cedar Street in Fremont, Ohio: On or about June 9, 2022, the employer did not ensure that the PHA conducted for the isobutane storage and piping system used in the production of packaging products reflected accurate process equipment, such as reference to a pentane storage tank and piping. The PHA also did not evaluate for potential hazards of isobutane being released to atmosphere via the atmospheric relief valve or the ventilation discharge duct on the northwest side of the building. Failure to conduct a thorough PHA can potentially lead to fire and explosion hazards.
