The employer did not complete a compilation of written process safety information before conducting any process hazard analysis required by the standard including information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals used or produced by the process, information pertaining to the technology of the process, and information pertaining to the equipment in the process. This violation most recently observed at the Pasadena Refining Systems Inc. located at 111 Red Bluff Road, Pasadena, Texas on or about August 31, 2010, and at times thereafter, in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) and the Alky 1 & 2 Units, exposing the employees to potential fire and explosion hazards. In the instances below, the employer utilized piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) with incomplete or inaccurate information to conduct process hazard analysis (PHA) of the FCC in 2009 and Alky 1 and 2 Units in 2008. The conditions described below also exist on subsequent revisions of the P&IDs.
