Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(i): The Process Hazard Analysis did not address the hazards of the process: Employees engaged in operating, inspecting, testing, and maintaining activities at the covered process equipment on the roof top of the Main Plant and the engine rooms were exposed to catastrophic release of ammonia which results in asphyxiation, explosion and flash fire leading to death and injury to persons in and near the facility in that the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) study failed to address the quality of inbounding/receiving Ammonia. The 1996, 1999, 2005, 2006 PHA "What-If" questions under the Charging Ammonia to System PHA Notes section does not address this requirement. The 2007, and 2012 PHA did not include any revision about the Charging Ammonia to System. 29 CFR 1903.19(c)(1) requires certification that the abatement of the above violations is complete.
