Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008B Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(iv): The documentation of the inspection or test that been performed on process equipment to maintain its mechanical integrity did not identify the date of the inspection or test, the serial number or other identifier of the equipment on which the inspection or test was performed, a description of the inspection or test, and the results of the inspection or test. The employer does not ensure inspections and tests performed on process equipment are documented with the date, serial number or equipment identifier, a description, and the result(s) of the inspection or test. The violation occurred in the North and South engine rooms on or about January 22, 2013 and at times prior thereto where the employer failed to ensure inspections and tests performed on ammonia refrigeration system cutouts were documented with the date, serial number or equipment identifier, a description of the test/inspection performed, and the result(s) of the inspection or test. Identified cutouts include but are not limited to: a. Compressor Discharge High/Low Pressure b. Compressor High/Low Oil Pressure Differential c. Compressor High Discharge Temperature d. High/Low Vessel Levels. These conditions exposed employees to hazards of fire and explosion or inhalation of ammonia vapors. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure inspections and tests performed on process equipment are documented with the date, serial number or equipment identifier, a description, and the result(s) of the inspection or test.
