Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. a) Epoxy manufacturing and monomers process: The employer did not document that equipment complied with RAGAGEP such as, but not limited to, API 752 Management of Hazards Associated with Location of Process Plant Permanent Buildings, sections 6.1 Building Siting Evaluation for Explosion, 7.1 Building Site Evaluation for Fire and 8.1 Building Siting Evaluation for Toxic Material Release when process controls located inside the control room were not adequately protected, making them vulnerable to being rendered inoperable during emergencies, such as, but not limited to, explosions, toxic releases, or fires. This could make the controls and/or operators unavailable to mitigate a release, exposing employees to hazards including fire, explosion, structural collapse, and/or toxic exposure, on or about 10/11/2016 b) Epoxy manufacturing and monomers process: The employer did not document that the ST-122 2,660 gallon catch tank performance complied with RAGAGEP such as, but not limited to, API 521 Pressure-relieving and Depressuring Systems, section 4.7 Relief System Design Documentation and CCPS Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems for design/sizing, section 5.2.2 Containment in External Vessel (Dump Tank or Catch Tank). The catch tank was only large enough to contain the contents of one reactor in the event of over pressurization, causing a release, exposing employees to hazards including fire, explosion, and/or toxic exposure on or about 10/11/2016. NOTE: THE EMPLOYER IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION FOR THIS ITEM. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY OF $1000.00 IN ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1903.19.
