29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(iii): The frequency of inspections and tests of process equipment was not consistent with applicable manufacturers' recommendations and good engineering practices, and more frequently if determined to be necessary by prior operating experience. The employer does not ensure that the frequency of inspection and tests of process equipment are consistent with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. Instance a) This violation occurred on or about June 11, 2012 in the ammonia refrigeration system where employees were exposed to inhalation, fire, and explosion hazards from potential releases of anhydrous ammonia without conducting an independent third party in depth inspection on pressure vessels at a frequency consistent with International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) Bulletin 110 such as but not limited to the following pressure vessels: 1. R4 Re-circulator 2. R4 Re-circulator 3. HPR (High Pressure Receiver) 4. PCA-2 5. PCA-4 Instance b) This violation occurred on or about June 11, 2012, in the ammonia refrigeration system where employees were exposed to inhalation, fire and explosion hazards from potential releases of anhydrous ammonia without conducting inspections and tests for pressure relief valves (PRVs) at a frequency consistent with International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) Bulletin 110 such as but not limited to the following instances: 1. PRVs for R4 (Recirculator -45C) on drawing PSM-5 2. PRVs for HPR-1 (High pressure receiver) on drawing PSM-4 3. PRVs for SC25 (Screw Compressor 25) on drawing PSM-5 Instance c) This violation occurred on or about June 11, 2012, in the ammonia refrigeration system where employees were exposed to inhalation, fire and explosion hazards from potential releases of anhydrous ammonia without conducting inspections and tests for pumps and compressors are at a frequency consistent with IIAR Bulletin such as but not limited to the following instances: 1. The two pumps for R2 (Recirculator +30C) on drawing PSM-6 2. The two pumps for R4 (Recirculator -45C) on drawing PSM-5 3. Two pumps for HPR-1 (High pressure receiver) on drawing PSM-6 4. SC12 (Screw Compressor 12) on drawing PSM-5 5. SC13 (Screw Compressor 13) on drawing PSM-4 6. SC16 (Screw Compressor 16) on drawing PSM-4 PILGRIMS PRIDE WAS PREVIOUS CITED FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARD OR ITS EQUIVALENT STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(iii), WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN OSHA INSPECTION NUMBER #313880775, CITIATION NUMBER#1, ITEM NUMBER #1, AND WAS AFFIRMED AS A FINAL ORDER ON APRIL 21, 2011, WITH RESPECT TO A WORKPLACE LOCATED AT 19740 US WEST, LIVE OAK, FL 32064. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19 within ten (10) calendar days of abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that the frequency of pressure relief valves, pumps and compressors inspection and tests of process equipment are consistent with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices.
