Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices: At the facility the employer did not document that it complied with its chosen recognized and generally accepted good engineering practice (RAGAGEP), including ANSI/IIAR 2-2008 (American National Standard for Equipment, Design, and Installation of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigerating Systems), Section 5.14.15; IIAR Bulletin 114 (Guidelines for Identification of Ammonia Refrigeration Piping and System Components), Sections 5.0 and 6.0; ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2013 (Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration), Section 9.12.6; and IIAR Bulletin 109 (Minimum Safety Criteria for a Safe Ammonia Refrigeration System), Section 4.7.6 when it did not ensure that Ammonia refrigeration piping and system components in the Ammonia refrigeration processes, such as the below noted valves were labeled. Employees engaged in repair, replace, inspection and maintenance activities of covered process equipment at the engine rooms, roof top, and production floor areas were exposed to the hazards of inhalation of toxic ammonia, asphyxiation, chemical burns, and fire. The following was noted during the walk around: Engine Room #1: (a) Four (4) Hansen 500 valves for #3 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications, were not label. (b) Four (4) Henry valves for #3 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (c) Four (4) Hansen 500 valves for #1 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (d) Four (4) Henry valves for #1 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (e) One (1) valve for #1 MyCom Compressor had missing a hand-turn wheel. (f) Six (6) valves for #29 Vilter Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (g) Four (4) valves for #49 Frick Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (h) One (1) pressure relief valve for #49 Frick Compressor had missing the replacement tags to indicate the installation date therefore the service life of this PRV could not be determined. Engine Room #2: (i) Three (3) valves for #12 Vilter Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (j) One (1) valve for #13 Vilter Compressor was missing the Tag Identification. Three (3) valves had wrong label. (k) Three (3) valves for #14 Vilter Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (l) One (1) HPG Isolation valve A for #18 Vilter Compressor had missing a hand-turn wheel. (m) One (1) HPG Isolation valve A for #10 FES Booster Compressor had missing a hand-turn wheel. (n) One (1) valve for #7 Frick Booster Compressor was missing the Tag Identifications. Engine Room #3: (o) Three (3) valves for #45 FES Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. (p) One (1) valve for #35 Frick Rotary (Swing) Screw Compressor was missing the Tag Identifications. (q) Four (4) valves for #24 Vilter Compressor were missing the Tag Identifications. One (1) valve had missing a hand-turn wheel. (r) One (1) valve for #23 Vilter Compressor had wrong label. Engine Room #4: (s) Four (4) valves for #42 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identification. (t) Five (5) valves for #48 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identification. (u) Three (3) valves for #39 MyCom Compressor were missing the Tag Identification. (v) One (1) valve for HPR System #3 was missing the Tag Identification. One (1) pressure relief valve did not equip with an installation tag to identify when it was installed and when to change for the 5-years service life-span. (w) Remote Emergency Stop Switches (E-Stops) were not located outside and adjacent to the designated principal machinery room door of all four (4) engine rooms. 29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1) requires certification and documentation that the abatement of the above violation is complete.
