29 CFR 1910.119(j)(3): Training for process maintenance activities. The employer shall train each employee involved in maintaining the on-going integrity of process equipment in an overview of that process and its hazards and in the procedures applicable to the employee's job tasks to assure that the employee can perform the job tasks in a safe manner. a. On or about December 29, 2022, and at times prior, the employer did not ensure that all employees involved in maintaining the on-going integrity of process equipment such as, but not limited to, the MIBK Recovery Unit (MRU) covered process and its associated equipment, were trained in its hazards and in the procedures applicable to their job tasks to assure performance of these tasks in a safe manner. Employees performed tasks such as, but not limited to, inspections/ "proof tests" of the high-level alarms, high-level transmitters, high-level devices and their associated interlocks, and the physical emergency stop on the exterior of the Stripper Building. These included, but were not limited to, LSH-S873, LSH-S884, LSH-994(LSH-998), LAH-S954, LAH-S956, LT-S884, and LT-S966. Employees working on and in the vicinity of the MRU covered process were thereby exposed to fire, explosion, and contact hazards.
