Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(1): The process hazard analysis did not identify, evaluate, and address the control of the hazards involved in the process: a) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to identify, evaluate, and control the hazard of high liquid level resulting from all potential flammable liquid overfill scenarios including but not limited to detecting flammables and stopping the flow of liquid naphtha to the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum. The Crude 1 PHA did not include the Coker Gas Plant as a source of liquid naphtha during an overfill scenario involving the Absorber Stripper Tower (PR550025), Sour Gas KO Drum (PR510286), Polishing Amine Contactor (PR550032), Sweet Gas KO Drum (PR510283) to the fuel gas header and the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum. Failure to control the high level in the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum resulted in a release of liquid naphtha, exposing employees to flammable vapor, fire, hydrogen sulfide, and explosion hazards.
