Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(D): Process safety information pertaining to the equipment in the process did not include the relief system design and design basis: This violation was observed on or about July 8, 2009, where the employer failed to include the relief system design and design basis for the Hydro Cracker unit. The employer did not have documents that illustrate the design from the process vessels' relief valves to either release to atmosphere or flare. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the action it is taking to ensure the process safety information is collected and maintained for the relief system design for the Hydrocraker Unit and the Flare System.
