Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard: CHEMNEP

29 CFR 1910.111(c)(1): Stationary non-refrigerated ammonia storage container minimum design pressure was less than 250 psig: The employer does not ensure that the bulk ammonia storage tank V-307 maintained a design pressure of 250 psig. This exposes employees to possible fire, burn, and inhalation hazards in the event of an accident. This violation occurred on or about October 20, 2010. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including evidence to show that the ammonia storage vessel meets the minimum design pressure rating of 250 psig. A method of abatement is to permanently install the newly acquired non-refrigerated ammonia storage vessel that meets the minimum design pressure as prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.111(c)(1).d
