29 CFR 1910.158(b): Standpipes were not located or otherwise protected against mechanical damage: The employer does not ensure that all fire monitor stations and associated supply standpipes are guarded from vehicle impact protection (mechanical damage) where necessary and kept in an accessible condition. The employer last violated this standard on or about August 13, 2009, at the below listed locations where barrier/bollard protection was damaged or lacking, potentially resulting in reduced process unit fire fighting capability: a) fire monitor No. 23-01, located south of C-2301-A, between the Hydrogen Plant (idle) and the Hydrocracker Unit. b) fire monitor No. 78-01, located across the process road from the Caustic Loading Rack of the HF Alky Unit. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation that it is in compliance with the standard, including ensuring that standpipes are guarded from vehicle impact damage.
