Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(j)(2): The employer did not establish and implement written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process equipment: (a) Solvent Blending Process: On or about March 20, 2018 the employer had not developed and implemented adequate written mechanical integrity procedures for piping systems that contain flammable liquids. The piping systems were last inspected using procedures that did not comply with the RAGAGEP, API 570 and 574, selected by the company to maintain the mechanical integrity of their piping systems. The sections missing from the inspection procedures included, but were not limited to, defining the type of inspections needed, describing the inspection and non-destructive examining (NDE) techniques, describing the extent and location of inspections including corrosion monitoring locations (CML), describing surface cleaning requirements and describing types of damage anticipated and locations where it is anticipated. This condition exposed employees to a fire hazard from the unexpected release of flammable liquids into the plant. The Rust-Oleum Corporation was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1910.119(j)(2), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1079244, citation number 1, item number 2a and was affirmed as a final order on February 10, 2016, with respect to a workplace located at 173 Belmont Drive, Somerset NJ 08873.
