Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(j)(2):The employer did not establish written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process equipment: On or about May 28, 2021, where sulfur dioxide (liquid) was present in quantities greater than 1000 pounds, the employer had not developed and implemented written procedures to maintain the ongoing integrity of process equipment, such as for equipment including, but not limited to the Silvan Industries Liquid Surge Tank (sn: 485411) and the Kunkle Safety Relief Valve 910. Lack of mechanical integrity procedures/inspections can result in equipment failures and loss of containment, exposing employees to hazards associated with sulfur dioxide.
