Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(i)(2)(i) The pre-startup safety review shall confirm that prior to the introduction of highly hazardous chemicals to a process construction and equipment is in accordance with design specifications. A) The employer did not confirm prior to introducing highly hazardous chemicals into a modified process that the construction was in accordance with its design specifications at Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. This violation was identified during the inspection of the facility, on August 20, 2010, when the Compliance Officer reviewed the Pre Startup Safety Review (PSSR) document, 10-Alky-03, Condensate Knockout pump replacement (BWO UOSH-122A-0004), for the replacement of pump P-318 with a larger pump. The PSSR document (BWO UOSH-122A-0004) includes the item, "Equipment...design specifications verified and available," which was marked, "Not Applicable." The Process Engineer stated that due to the fact that the construction of the Condensate Knockout pump that was being installed did not change from the construction of the pump that was being replaced and because the metallurgy was the same, it was not necessary to verify that the construction and the pump was designed as specified. Without verification that a new pump and its construction comply with design specifications, the pump may fail, resulting in employee exposures to potentially hazardous chemicals. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all procedures throughout the facility.
