Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(6):The employer did not update and revalidate by a team meeting the requirements in paragraph (e)(4) of this section, to assure that the process hazard analysis is consistent with the current process, at least every five (5) years after the completion of the initial process hazard analysis: a) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that the most recent PHA revalidation reflected current process equipment and conditions, in that the high-level switch (LSH-805) was not available to detect high level of flammables in the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum during a high liquid level event. Failure to ensure that engineering control safeguard taken credit for in PHA revalidations are in place and operational, can contribute to an uncontrollable high level in the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum, exposing employees to fire, explosion hazards, and toxic gases from potential releases of fuel gas, flammable liquids, and hydrogen sulfide.
