119(e)(1): The employer did not perform an initial process hazard analysis (hazard evaluation) on processes covered by this standard. The process hazard analysis was not appropriate to the complexity of the process and did not identify, evaluate, and control the hazards involved in the process. Employers shall determine and document the priority order for conducing process hazard analyses based on a rationale which includes such considerations as extent of the process hazards, number of potentially affected employees, age of the process, and operating history of the process: a) On or about March 17, 2015, and at times thereafter, the employer did not conduct a process hazard analysis for the evaluation and control of the hazards involved in the process, exposing employees to inhalation, fire, and explosion hazards.
