Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 009 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(5): The employer did not establish a system to promptly address the PHA team's findings and recommendations: At a worksite at 832 E 3rd Street, Milan, MO 6455: The employer failed to protect employees from hazards related to highly hazardous chemicals at the facility. This was last demonstrated on or about May 13, 2024, and at times prior thereto, when the employer's established system, with respect to their most recent Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), did not assure timely resolutions to recommendations and the completion of actions as soon as possible, nor develop a written schedule of when actions are to be completed for those findings and recommendations for a 5-year PHA Revalidation. This exposes employees to fire and chemical overexposure hazards posed by anhydrous ammonia in the event of an uncontrolled release.
