Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1)(i) The employer did not develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for safely conducting activities involved in each covered process consistent with the process safety information and addresses the steps for each operating phase: (a) On or about December 3, 2009 and at times prior thereto, ExxonMobil Billings Refinery, 700 ExxonMobil Road, Billings, MT, did not develop and implement written procedures that provide clear instructions for employees to safely conduct repositioning of car sealed valves within the Crude Unit. Employees are exposed to fire and explosion hazards due to the potential for hydrocarbon releases. One feasible means of abatement would be for the employer to develop and implement within its operating procedures the requirements for employees to safely conduct repositioning of car sealed valves within the Crude Unit. The Exxon Mobil Corporation was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard (29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1)(i)) which was contained in inspection #311360549, citation #1, item #6(a) and was affirmed as a final order on May 6, 2008.
