Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 017 Hazard: REFINERY

29 CFR 1910.119(f)(3): The operating procedures were not reviewed as often as necessary to assure that they reflect current operating practice, including changes that result from changes in process chemicals, technology, and equipment, or changes to facilities and the employer did not certify annually that the operating procedures are current and accurate: The employer does not review operating procedures as often as necessary to assure they are current, and does not certify annually that the operating procedures are current and accurate. The FCCU Operating Manual was last certified as current and accurate on January 23, 2008. After the certification in 2008, the Catalyst Disposal Cyclone, 7G-4, was taken out of service and a baghouse was installed on the Unit; Special Operating Procedure Section 1210 - Transfer of Catalyst from F-2 into Trucks was not updated to reflect changes in equipment, and the procedure did not reflect current operating practice with regard to the lineup of the discharge blowers to the catalyst truck. This violation was observed on or about February 4, 2009. Pursuant 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 the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure operating procedures are maintained to reflect current operating practices, as well as current process chemicals, technology, equipment and facilities, as well as the steps it is taking to ensure operating procedures are certified current and accurate on an annual basis.
