29 CFR 1910.119(j)(5) - Employer did not ensure that deficiency in equipment is corrected in a safe and timely manner The employer does not correct deficiencies in equipment that are outside acceptable limits (defined by the process safety information in paragraph (d) of this section) before further use or in a safe and timely manner when necessary means are taken to assure safe operation. The employer violated this standard on or about March 14, 2011 when a broken gate valve caused a level gauge on D-110 to not work properly; rendering the visual verification of liquid level for this vessel ineffective. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within 10 days, the employer must submit an abatement plan describing the actions it is taking to ensure that all equipment is maintained in a safe and reliable condition. The violation must be abated no later than 10 days from the receipt of this citation.
