Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 018 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(l)(1):The employer did not establish and implement written procedures to manage changes to process chemicals, technology, equipment, and procedures; and, changes to facilities that affect a covered process: (a) On or about May 12, 2021, at Limetree Bay Refining, LLC., Delayed Coker Unit - The employer failed to implement their management of change procedure 35-0002 "Management of Change (MOC) Evaluation Process" when a crawler crane was used to transfer dried petroleum coke in the Coke Pit as a replacement for a fixed overhead gantry crane that was out of service. No permanent or temporary MOC was conducted to manage this facility change requiring personnel to enter the coke pit when using the crawler crane, exposing employees to toxic, respiratory, and thermal contact hazards. This facility change also resulted in operational delays leading to process upsets that caused a loss of containment.
