29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(i): Mechanical integrity. 29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(i): Inspections and tests shall be performed on process equipment. On or about November 15, 2023, the employer failed to perform initial inspections and tests related to pressure vessels and pressure vessel pressure-relieving device installation prior to putting the equipment into service. Inspections and testing had not been performed by a qualified and certified API 510 inspector on ASME code pressure vessels, for the following covered process equipment: a. Storage Tank ST-101A located in the CESS Storage Area, b. Storage Tank ST-101B located in the CESS Storage Area, c. Storage Tank ST-102A located in the CESS Storage Area, d. Storage Tank ST-102B located in the CESS Storage Area, e. Storage Tank ST-103A located in the CESS Storage Area, f. Storage Tank ST-103B located in the CESS Storage Area, g. Waste Tank WT-101 located in the CESS Storage Area, h. Separator Tank SP-301 located in the CESS Storage Area, i. Separator Tank SP-302 located in the CESS Storage Area, j. Separator Tank SP-303 located in the CESS Storage Area, and k. the 20 Buffer Tanks located in the production building packaging line area that included Buffer Tanks BT-101A through BT-110B. Pressure vessels that have not received initial inspections are at increased risk for loss of containment and overpressure protection system failure. Employees working on and in the vicinity of equipment containing highly hazardous chemicals are exposed to fire, explosion and contact hazards.
