Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard: CHEMICAL

29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(D) The employer did not compile process safety information which included the relief system design and design basis for equipment in the process: (a)Suncor Energy (U.S.A.), Inc., 5801 Brighton Blvd., Commerce City, Colorado: On or about November 20, 2008, and at times prior thereto, the employer did not compile process safety information which included the relief system design for pressure relief from those heat exchangers and strainers which are pressure vessels falling under the scope requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, Division 1. Pressure vessel types of heat exchangers and strainers throughout the refinery, including, but not limited to, the following heat exchangers and strainers in the #1 Crude Unit, did not include their relief system design in the process safety information: X-322 both sides, X-338 both sides, X-16 shell side, X- 165 tube side, X-7 shell side, X-8 shell side, X-30 both sides, X-161 both sides, X- 163 and 164 shell side, S-1, S-2, S-56 and S-57. Employees are exposed to hazards associated with fires and explosions due to the potential release of highly hazardous chemicals. One feasible means of abatement would be for the employer to compile process safety information which includes the relief system design and design basis for all heat exchangers and strainers within the refinery that fall under the pressure vessel requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, Division 1. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").
