Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CHEMNEP
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)INEOS USA LLC, 1900 Fort Amanda Road, Lima, Ohio: On or about July 22, 2010, the employer did not ensure that a management of change procedure (MOC) was implemented when the lights in the Barex stairwell were replaced. The stairwell in the Barex building was classified as a Class I, division 2 environment and the replacement lights were not rated for a hazardous environment. Using electrical equipment not rated for hazardous environments exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. (b)INEOS USA LLC, 1900 Fort Amanda Road, Lima, Ohio: On or about July 22, 2010, the employer did not ensure that a management of change procedure (MOC) was implemented when personnel determined that the lighting fixtures installed in the Barex process building stairwell were not approved for a Class I environment and implemented corrective actions. Using the MOC system, which includes a hazard analysis review, would likely have addressed potential hazards associated with removing the lights from service, such as but not limited to, low lighting conditions in a stairwell used as an emergency exit. (c)INEOS USA LLC, 1900 Fort Amanda Road, Lima, Ohio: On or about July 22, 2010, the employer did not ensure that a management of change procedure (MOC) was implemented when the HVAC unit for the Barex control room failed and the room was not maintained with a positive pressure environment. The equipment in the control room was not rated for a hazardous environment and exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation ( using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence, or written records.
