29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(ii): Inspections and testing procedures performed on process equipment to maintain its mechanical integrity, did not follow recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices: This violation was observed on or about August 27, 2009, where the employer failed to calculate corrosion rates and/or determine thickness measurements in the Hydrocracker Unit for piping circuits HC-V-002 (effluent piping), HC-V- 014 (effluent), HC-V-022 (kerosene and diesel effluent). 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 all required piping thickness measurements have been completed to calculate corrosion rates.
