Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard: CHEMNEP
29 CFR 1910.111(b)(9): Each container safety-relief valve used with systems covered by paragraphs (c),(f),(g), and (h) of this section was not rated to discharge in accordance with the provisions in Table H-36: The employer does not ensure that the bulk ammonia storage tank V-307 is equipped with safety relief valves that discharged at a rate in accordance with the minimum rate established in Table H-36. This exposes employees to possible fire, burn, and inhalation hazards in the event of an accident. This violation occurred on or about October 20, 2010 at Woodward Iodine Corporation. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, 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 the installation of safety relief valve(s) with the required minimum discharge rate in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.111 Table H-36. A method of abatement is to install safety relief valve(s) that have the minimum discharge rate in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.111 Table H-36.
