Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1)(i)(C): The employer did not develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for safely conducting temporary operations: a) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that temporary operating procedures were developed and implemented for operation of the Crude 1 Unit while the Coker Gas Plant and SatGas/NHT Units were intended to be in a by-pass condition. The lack of operating procedures for this transient operating condition contributed to carry-over of naphtha to the TIU Fuel Gas Mix Drum and led to liquid in the fuel gas system, exposing employees to fire and explosion hazards. b) BP Products North America, Inc. - Oregon, Ohio: On or about September 20, 2022, the employer failed to ensure that operating procedures developed for bypassing the Coker Gas Plant were implemented. Failure to implement this established procedure (CGP 02.004 - Bypassing and Returning to Service Coker Gas Plant) contributed to FCV-3816 being opened, allowing naphtha to overfill downstream process vessels and flow into the refinery's fuel gas system, exposing employees to fire and explosion hazards.
