Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(j)(2): The employer did not establish or implement written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process equipment. The employer does not ensure written procedures are established and implemented to maintain the on-going mechanical integrity of the process equipment. The violation occurred in the Springtown Enbridge Facility on or about October 9, 2014 and at times prior thereto where the employer failed to ensure written procedures were established and implemented for block/stop valves of pressure relief devices. This condition exposed employees to inhalation, fire, and explosion hazards from potential releases of hazardous materials. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure that written procedures are established and implemented to maintain the on-going mechanical integrity of the process equipment.
