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 are resolved in a timely manner and that the resolution is documented; document what actions are to be taken; complete actions as soon as possible; develop a written schedule of when these actions are to be completed; communicate the actions to operating, maintenance and other employees whose work assignments are in the process and who may be affected by the recommendations or actions. The employer does not ensure that the PHA recommendations are resolved in a timely manner. The violation occurred in the Enbridge Springtown Facility on or about October 9, 2014 and at times prior thereto where employees were exposed to inhalation, fire, and explosion hazards from potential releases of hazardous materials when the employer failed to ensure the 2013 PHA recommendation for providing an Emergency Shutdown (ESD) system for the process was resolved in a timely manner. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure that the process hazard analysis recommendations are resolved in a timely manner.
