Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard: EXPLOSION
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(ii) The employer's process hazard analysis did not address the identification of all previous incidents which had a likely potential for catastrophic consequences in the workplace: (a)Suncor Energy (U.S.A.), Inc., 5801 Brighton Blvd., Commerce City, Colorado: On or about December 15, 2008, and at times prior thereto, the employer's 2004 process hazard analysis for the #1 Crude Unit did not address all incidents since the previous PHA, including, but not limited to, incident 145 and 146 involving a seal leak of pump P-435 on 10/20/03. Employees are exposed to hazards related to fires and explosions as a result of not addressing in the 2004 PHA all previous incidents since the last PHA. One feasible means of abatement would be to ensure that PHAs address the hazards associated with all previous incidents since the last PHA.
