29 CFR 1910.119(g)(2) Refresher training. Refresher training shall be provided at least every three years, and more often if necessary, to each employee involved in operating a process to assure that the employee understands and adheres to the current operating procedures of the process. The employer, in consultation with the employees involved in operating the process, shall determine the appropriate frequency of refresher training. A. The employer did not ensure that refresher training was provided at least every three year or more often if necessary to each employee involved in operating a process to assure that the employee understands and adheres to the current operating procedures of the process. 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. Employees interviewed stated that no formal refresher training had been conducted. In addition, Silver Eagle's 2009 PSM Compliance Audit identified "Silver Eagle has not developed a formal refresher training program." By not regularly conducting refresher training, employees may be deprived of critical information required for their job duties, resulting in their exposure to serious injury or death. This occurrence may be system wide and would require evaluation in all applicable areas of the refinery.
