Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.119(j)(2): The employer did not establish or implement written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process equipment: a) House Engine Room: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer did not implement their written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process titled, "Replacement of Piping or Fittings", to clean corroded metal surfaces, and then apply corrosion inhibitor along the C-2 HSS pipe run identified as having visible corrosion, allowing for accelerated pipe corrosion, potentially resulting in pipe failure and subsequent employee exposure to an ammonia inhalation hazard which can result in serious illness or death. b) House Engine Room: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer did not implement their written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process titled, "Replacement of Piping or Fittings", to clean corroded metal surfaces, and then apply corrosion inhibitor along the C-7 LSS pipe run identified as having visible corrosion and insulation removed, allowing for accelerated pipe corrosion, potentially resulting in pipe failure and subsequent employee exposure to an ammonia inhalation hazard which can result in serious illness or death. c) House Engine Room: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer did not implement their written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process titled, "Replacement of Piping or Fittings", to clean corroded metal surfaces, and then apply corrosion inhibitor along the P-1 Recirculator E L TRS pumped liquid piping identified as having visible corrosion, allowing for accelerated pipe corrosion, potentially resulting in pipe failure and subsequent employee exposure to an ammonia inhalation hazard which can result in serious illness or death. d) FRIGO Engine Room: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer did not implement their written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process titled, "Replacement of Piping or Fittings", to clean corroded metal surfaces, and then apply corrosion inhibitor and replace the insulation along the Compressor 11-FC1 LSS piping identified as having damaged insulation, allowing for accelerated pipe corrosion, potentially resulting in pipe failure and subsequent employee exposure to an ammonia inhalation hazard which can result in serious illness or death. e) FRIGO Engine Room: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer did not implement their written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process titled, "Replacement of Piping or Fittings", to clean corroded metal surfaces, and then apply corrosion inhibitor along the Compressor 11-FC1 HSD piping identified as having slight visible corrosion, allowing for accelerated pipe corrosion, potentially resulting in pipe failure and subsequent employee exposure to an ammonia inhalation hazard which can result in serious illness or death. f) FRIGO Engine Room: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer did not implement their written procedures to maintain the on-going integrity of process titled, "Replacement of Piping or Fittings", to clean corroded metal surfaces, and then apply corrosion inhibitor along the Compressor 11-FC2 HSS piping identified as having insulation vapor barrier leaks, allowing for accelerated pipe corrosion, potentially resulting in pipe failure and subsequent employee exposure to an ammonia inhalation hazard which can result in serious illness or death. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit abatement certification, required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
