Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.147(d)(3): All energy isolating devices that were needed to control the energy to the machine or equipment were not physically located and operated in such a manner as to isolate the machine or equipment from the energy source(s): Vacuum Pipe Still 2 (VPS-2). The employer did not ensure that the energy isolation device (TV139 with associated valves & piping) in the High Pressure Boiler Feed Water Line was closed to prevent backflow/leakage of high pressure water into the 600 psi steam line between 83H101 (Charge Tower) and the 83D101 (Steam Desuperheater). This exposed employees to the sudden and un-expected release of steam and/or hot water at approx 240 deg F.
