29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)[F] Information pertaining to the equipment in the process shall include: Design codes and standards employed. A. The employer did not ensure that information pertaining to FAN 10215 included design codes and standards employed. This violation was identified during inspections of the facility from November 2009 to March 2010, Silver Eagle Refining Inc., 2355 South 1100 West, Woods Cross, UT, 84087. During inspection of equipment in the #1 Crude Unit, FAN 10215 was found not to have adequate design and construction documentation (no U1-A or other documentation) nor had this information been established per API 510 section 7. Documents provided by the employer, MDDW 1-UOSH-134, also identified the lack of the U1-A or other critical documentation. The employer did not provide documents as to the date of installation in this facility, but employee statements indicated installation was at least prior to the year 2005. As stated by Management, Silver Eagle is aware that the U-1A or equivalent is required for every piece of applicable equipment. Not maintaining complete and accurate equipment records can prevent the employer from identifying, designing, and maintaining equipment within safe limits. Should equipment be operated outside safe limits, failures can occur exposing employees to hazardous conditions which can result in serious injury or death. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all equipment throughout the facility. B.
