Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices: a) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that it documented that equipment in the process complied with the employer's chosen recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices such as but not limited to API 520 (2020) Section 5, when the employer did not include an evaluation of excessive built-up backpressure for PSV-1457 located on the tube side of the HVGO/Crude 1 Naphtha Intermediate Reflux Shell & Tube heat exchangers (PR-544011/12). Failure to evaluate excessive built-up back pressure resulted in the exposure of employees to fire and explosion hazards from the release of flammable liquids or gasses. b) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that it documented that equipment in the process complied with the employer's chosen recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices such as but not limited to API 520 (2020) and API 521 (2015), when the employer did not include an evaluation of two phase flow and all potential relief scenarios for the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum (PR-510253) PSV-1464 including but not limited to overfilling of the drum. Failure to evaluate for the potential of two phase flow and all potential relief scenarios including but not limited to overfilling of the drum, exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards from potential releases of flammable liquids or gasses. c) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to document that the level indicator instrumentation used in conjunction with the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum (PR-510253) complied with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices in that level instrumentation relied on for controlling liquid level accumulation in the drum was not designed and utilized for determining liquid levels of naphtha.
