A refinery has been cited for five safety and health violations, including one willful and one repeat, with proposed penalties totaling $126,900. OSHA found deficiencies in the employer’s PSM program and other workplace hazards. The inspection, which began in January, was a follow-up to a 2010 inspection initiated under the agency’s Petroleum Refinery PSM NEP. The one willful violation involve failing to ensure relief valves were properly sized and of adequate capacity to provide relief, for units such as, but not limited to, Crude Unit #1. The repeat violation involves failing to ensure process safety information included the relief system design for a Crude Unit. Three serious violations were cited for failing to ensure intervening block valves, upstream and downstream of relief devices, were locked in the open position; ensure process hazard analysis recommendations for facility siting were resolved in a timely manner; and ensure energy control procedures were written to specifically relieve stored energy.
