29 CFR 1910.119(f)(3) The operating procedures shall be reviewed as often as necessary to assure that they reflect current operating practice, including changes that result from changes in process chemicals, technology, and equipment, and changes to facilities. The employer shall certify annually that these operating procedures are current and accurate.

This violation was identified during the inspection of the facility, on July 30, 2010, at Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054.
