Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 016 Hazard: ELECTRIC

29 CFR 1910.119(j)(6)(ii): Appropriate checks and inspections were not performed to assure that equipment was installed properly and consistent with design specifications and manufacturer's instructions: (a)Suncor Energy (U.S.A.), Inc., 5801 Brighton Blvd., Commerce City, Colorado: On or about December 17, 2008, and at times prior thereto, the employer did not perform an appropriate test and inspection of the gas (hydrogen sulfide and flammable vapors) detection and HVAC system for the Asphalt Unit Control Room building to assure it was installed to operate in accordance with its design and the manufacturer's instructions. Employees were exposed to hazards associated with potential overexposures to hydrogen sulfide and potentially explosive concentrations of flammable vapors in a non-classified electrical location. One feasible means of abatement would be for the employer to institute a management system which ensures that appropriate tests and inspections of newly installed equipment are performed to ensure such equipment operates in accordance with its design specifications and the manufacturer's instructions. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").
