Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 012 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(iii): For existing equipment designed and constructed in accordance with codes, standards, or practices that are no longer in general use, the employer does not determine and document that equipment is designed, maintained, inspected, tested and operating in a safe manner: The employer does not have written process safety information for design, maintenance, inspection, testing and operations that determines and documents the safe use and operation of the Crude Unit control room. The control room conditions do not prevent infiltration of hydrocarbons or toxics, do not prevent struck-by hazards, do not prevent fire spread, and do not provide a safe location from blast overpressure conditions. The conditions were observed on or about February 4, 2009, and at times prior to and thereafter, at the Sinclair Tulsa Refinery. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation describing the actions it is taking to ensure that the Crude Unit control room is designed, maintained, inspected, tested and operating in a safe manner.
