OSHA cites Food Plant $157,000 for 27 serious safety and health violations (PSM)

This appears to be an inspection after an ammonia leak in a food processing area that impacted a contractor and food production workers.  A contractor drilled into what was thought to have been an “abandoned line” releasing the ammonia.  The leak was on 12/3/11 and the inspection began on 12/12/11.  Some very enlightening citations for refrigeration process safety managers to contemplate!  PLEASE NOTE: these are INITIAL and the plant has not yet responded to them; HOWEVER, this posting is meant to shed light on what an OSHA CSHO will be looking at after a release of an HHC.
