29 CFR 1910.119(o)(4): The employer did not promptly determine and document an a ppropriate response to each of the findings of the compliance audit, and documen t that deficiencies have been corrected: Calumet does not promptly determine and document an appropriate response to recommendations contained in their complian ce audits. a.The May 23, 1998; September 28, 1998; August 15, 2005; and December 8, 2008, Compliance Audits include recommendations to address compliance audit findings in a timely manner. This audit item has not been resolved as some recom mendations are still not resloved. Recommendations from the compliance audits to : "develop consequences of deviations and steps to correct for all critical limi ts and a recommendation to address lockout /tagout procedures that do not meet a ll requirements"; have not been addressed or the correction was not documented. b.T he September 28, 1998, Compliance Audit includes a recommendation to "develop co nsequences of deviations and steps to correct for all defined critical operating limits. Calumet has still not listed the consequences of deviation and steps to correct deviations for all operational parameters. Recommendations from a compl iance audit indicate the Facility's Process Safety Management program has defici encies that require correction. These deficiencies can lead to catastrophic even ts which would expose employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 29 CF R 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer mus t submit an abatement plan describing the actions it is taking to ensure that th ey promptly determine and document an appropriate response to each of the findin gs of the compliance audit, and document that deficiencies have been corrected.
