Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1)(i)(D): The employer did not develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for emergency shutdown, including the conditions under which emergency shutdown is required, and the assignment of shutdown responsibility to qualified operators to ensure that emergency shutdown is executed in a safe and timely manner: The employer did not develop and implement written operating procedures that provided clear instructions for performing an emergency shutdown of the facility in the event of an emergency at the Gregory Plant. The operating procedures failed to properly address the shutdown of the Steadman, Copano, and Recompressor inlet valves using the HMI system located in the control room. Operating Procedure 005-SOP-GGPF does not include procedures for shutting down the inlet valves for the Steadman, Copano, and Recompressor. This exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards from catastrophic release of flammable gas.
