29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(F): Process safety information pertaining to the equipment does not include the design codes and standards employed: (a) This violation occurred on or about January 27, 2009, and times prior thereto, where the process safety information did not include the design of the pressure relieving system for the #2 Crude Unit and the entire facility. This would include the relief valves, the header system, the knock out pot and the flare. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within 10 calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure that process safety information is collected for each pressure relief valve, header system, knock out pot, and flare and is utilized in the process hazard analysis and mechanical integrity program. (b) This violation occurred on or about January 27, 2009, and times prior thereto, where the process safety information did not include the design codes for the following pressure vessels; 1)V-202 Crude Reflux Accumulator - The employer could not provide: Rerating Calculations (Code ASME) Heat Treatment Results (Code ASME) Post Weld Heat Treatment Results (Code API 510) Welding Performance Qualifications (PQR) (Code ASME) Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) (Code ASME) Repair & Alteration Reports (R-1) (Code API 510) 2)V-201 #2 Crude Unit Main Frac Tower - The employer could not provide: Manufacturers Data Report (U-1, U-2 Reports) (Code ASME) Heat Treatment Results (Code ASME) Post Weld Heat Treatment Results (Code API 510) Welding Performance Qualifications (PQR) (Code ASME) Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) (Code ASME) Thickness Measurement Locations (TML) (Code API 572) 3)E-211B Diesel Product Desalted Crude Heat Exchanger - The employer could not provide: Welding Performance Qualifications (PQR) (Code ASME) Repair & Alteration Reports (R-1) (Code ASME) 4)V-204 Diesel Stripper - The employer could not provide: Manufacturers Data Report (U-1, U-2 Reports)(Code ASME) Code Calculations (Code API) Rerating Calculations (Code ASME) Heat Treatment Results for vessel (Code API 510) MI/NDE Test Results (MT, UT, RT, etc) for vessel Post Weld Heat Treatment Results (Code API 510) TML Historical Readings (Code API 510) Welding Performance Qualifications (PQR) (Code ASME) Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) (Code ASME) Repair & Alteration Reports (R-1) (Code API 510) Failure to maintain the process safety information of the #2 Crude Unit pressure vessels could result in risk of exposure to fire and explosion to employees. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within 10 calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure that an up-to-date evaluation is being conducted and that the process safety information is updated.
