Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(5): The employer did not establish a system to assure that the process hazard analysis team's recommendations are resolved in a timely manner and that the resolution is documented: The employer does not ensure a system is established to assure that the process hazard analysis teams recommendations are resolved in a timely manner and resolutions are documented. The violation occurred on or about November 6, 2012 and times prior thereto, in the propane container filling and evacuation areas where the employer failed to ensure a system was established to assure that the 2004 and 2011 process hazard analysis (PHA) teams recommendations were resolved in a timely manner and resolutions are documented. Identified recommendations include but not limited to: a. Review procedures with all employees. b. Review emergency shutdown procedures with all employees. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure a system is established to assure that the process hazard analysis teams recommendations are resolved in a timely manner and resolutions are documented.
