Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(1): The employer did not develop and implement written operating procedures that provided clear instructions for safely conducting activities involved in each covered process consistent with the process safety information. The employer does not ensure written operating procedures are developed and implemented that provided clear instructions for safely conducting activities involved in each process consistent with the process safety information. 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 written operating procedures were developed and implemented with clear instructions for safely conducting the filling and evacuation of containers. 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 written operating procedures were developed and implemented for safely conducting activities involved in each process consistent with the process safety information.
