29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(F): Process safety information pertaining to the equipm ent did not include the design codes and standards employed: The employer does n ot include in its Process Safety Information (PSI), the codes and standards used in the design of relief systems. Review of the Calumet Lubricants Company Flare Study, dated 12/04/2001, does not identify which codes and standards are implem ented and followed in the development of the 2001 Flare Study. This study, condu cted by Jacob and Associates LLC, makes no reference to API, ASME, or other appl icable standards used in the design and assessment of relief systems. Examples o f applicable design codes include, but are not limited to, API 520 Parts 1 and 2 , API 521, API 526, API 537, ASME BPVC Section 8, etc. As a result, Process Safety Information (PSI) is incomplete. Not maintaining codes an d standards used in the design of relief systems can prevent the employer from i dentifying, designing, and maintaining equipment within safe limits. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all equipment throughout t he facility. This violation was documented on or about December 20. 2010. Pursua nt to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation , the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with t he standard, including the steps that it is taking to ensure that employees are not being exposed to highly hazardous chemicals.
