Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 011 Hazard: CHEMNEP
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(5): The employer did not establish a system to promptly address the process hazard analysis team's findings and recommendations: The employer does not establish a system to promptly address the PHA teams finding and recommendations; assure that the recommendations are resolved in a timely manner and that the resolution is documented. This exposes employees to possible fire, burn, and inhalation hazards in the event of an accident or explosion. This violation was observed on or about October 20, 2010. None of the recommendations in the 1999 PHA had been addressed. 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 regarding tracking of PHA findings and recommendations. A method of abatement is to develop a system to address findings and recommendations; assure that the recommendations are resolved in a timely manner and that the resolution is documented; document what actions are to be taken; complete actions as soon as possible; develop a written schedule of when these actions are to be completed; communicate the actions to operating, maintenance, and other employees whose work assignments are in the process and who may be affected by the recommendations or actions.dations
