Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(i)(E): The employer did not have a compilation for written process safety information pertaining to the ventilation system design: On or about November 20, 2023, the employer did not compile and maintain ventilation system design information for the North Engine Room ventilation design and design basis for both normal and emergency ventilation, such as but not limited to the maximum rate that the ventilation system exhausts (e.g., cubic feet per minute (cfm)). The unexpected release of anhydrous ammonia or a loss of air circulation could result in the accumulation of ammonia vapors inside the North Engine Room exposing employees to fire, explosion, and inhalation hazards.
