Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(l)(1) The employer shall establish and implement written procedures to manage changes (except for "replacements in kind") to process chemicals, technology, equipment, and procedures; and, changes to facilities that affect a covered process. (a) At the time of the inspection, Thursday, October 22, 2009 through Monday, February 22, 2010, of Tesoro Refining and Marketing Co. 474 W. 900 N. Salt Lake City, UT, Compliance Officers reviewed a written response to a UOSH data request dated February 22, 2010. The response stated that MOC (Management of Change) was not conducted on the changes made to the steam header pressure to Pump 112 (P-112) in the Crude unit. During interviews, employees stated the changes were made to lower the Pump's steam header pressure from 120 psig to approximately 85 psig. Tesoro's written incident investigation report confirms this. By not implementing written procedures to manage changes, critical considerations may not be addressed. This can lead to serious injury or death to employees.
