Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(4): The employer did not develop and implement safe work practices for employees and contractor employees to provide for the control of hazards during operations such as lockout/tagout; confined space entry; opening process equipment or piping; and control over entrance into a facility by maintenance, contractor, laboratory, or other support personnel: This violation was observed on or about July 8, 2008, where the employer failed to safely control access for motorized equipment entering or traveling on roadways adjacent to the Hydrocracker Unit that contain flammable materials. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 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 steps it is taking to ensure that motorized vehicle entrance into process units is controlled.
