Condition noted on or about 12/23/09. b- Bayway Chemical Plant, Vis-J and Dispersants Units - Written operating procedures to include normal start up/turnaround start up in the case of continuous processes or start up after turnaround in the case of batch processes did not include the requirement to remove all non-essential personnel from process unit prior to initiating such procedures as referenced in CCPS Guidelines for Safe Process Operations and Maintenance. Condition noted on or about 01/12/10. c- Bayway Chemical Plant, Zinc Unit - The P2S5 Bin Transporting, Inverting and Charging Procedure did not specifically indicate that only one bin is to be inverted at a time. Workers routinely functioned both inverters (9INV1 and 9INV2) simultaneously which have resulted in improper clamping with a bin slipping from the inverter and spilling product. During the event workers were exposed to H2S when the P2S5 contacted water. Condition noted on or about 12/02/10.
