Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(ii): Inspection and testing procedures shall follow recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. On or about 5/10/2017, the employer did not comply with RAGAGEP, such as API 570, when the employer failed to perform inspections of horizontal buried piping used to transport LP flammable liquids from a pressurized process vessel to the aerosol filling room located in Building 6. This exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards in the event of a catastrophic release due to the mechanical integrity failure of the process piping. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
