29 CFR 1910.169(a)(2): A new receiver installed after the effective date of these regulations was not constructed in accordance with the 1968 Edition of the ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel code Section VIII. The employer has not ensured that the compressed air receiver vessel was constructed in accordance with the 1968 A.S.M.E. Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII. This exposes employees to possible fatal injury as a result of catastrophic failure of the high pressure vessel. There was not a U1; vessel did not have a name plate either ASME or API, the employer could not find any information on the tank. Management said it was not a coded vessel. This violation occurred on or about October 20, 2010. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 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 the information required to be contained on the permanently installed nameplate. The method of abatement is to install a compressed air receiver that meets the 1968 A.S.M.E. Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII as prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.169(a)(2).
