29 CFR 1910.119(m)(1): The employer did not investigate each incident which resulted in, or could reasonably have resulted in a catastrophic release of highly hazardous chemicals in the workplace: The employer failed to investigate an incident in the hydrocracker unit which occurred when one of three check valves on the discharge of pump P-103 failed to close, causing the overpressure of well water tank TK-1 such that its hinged lid blew off, and resulting in the release of H2S that had backed into tank TK-1 from D-103, the high pressure separator, which contains hydrocarbons, H2, H2S, and NH3. This violation was documented on or about June 27, 2011. 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 incidents and near misses are investigated. The violation must be abated no later than 10 days from the receipt of this citation.
