Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007E Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(j)(6)(i) In the construction of new plants and equipment, the employer shall assure that equipment as it is fabricated is suitable for the process application for which they will be used. A) At Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054, the employer did not assure that equipment associated with construction was suitable for the process application for which it would be used. The employer recently replaced acid relief neutralizer D-305 in the Alky Unit. The original vessel was abandoned-in-place. As part of piping demolition, the supports/restraints for RV-3307 (protecting acid storage tank D-304) discharge piping were compromised by the installation and continued use of a screw-jack support in lieu of utilizing a nearby, permanent pipe support column. Serious injury or death to an employee could occur in the event that process equipment that was inadequately supported fell and struck an employee or in the event that inadequately supported equipment resulted in a release of hazardous chemicals which came into contact with employees. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all procedures throughout the facility.
