Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1)(i)(C): The employer's written operating procedures covering the steps for each operating phase did not address temporary operations: This violation was observed on or about July 8, 2009, where the employer did not develop or implement a temporary procedure to ensure the safe operation of the relief system (north flare) for the Hydrocracker Unit when the flare is inoperative. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within 10 calendar days of the date of the citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure that for times when the flare does not have a flame all workers are protected from hazards of operating process equipment with potential releases exiting the flares without burning.
