29 CFR 1910.119(l)(1): The employer did not establish and implement written procedures to manage changes to process chemicals, technology, equipment, and procedures; and, changes to facilities that affect a covered process. The employer does not ensure written procedures are established and implemented for managing changes to the process equipment and operating procedures. The violation occurred on or about January 18, 2013 and times prior thereto, in the propane container filling area where the employer failed to ensure that written procedures were established and implemented for the installation of a larger (12 station) container filling station. 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 procedures are established and implement for managing changes to the process equipment and procedures.
