Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to:
a) Employees in and around the resin building (buildings 28 and 28A)
including Kettle Cook #1 were exposed on and before July 19, 1990,
to the increased hazards of fires and explosions due to the release
of flammable materials (including PX solvent vapors) from the kettles
in that:
The employer did not take adequate measures to prevent a hazardous
release of flammable materials in that:
A) The rupture of the disc discharge line for #6 kettle terminated above
the roof of the resin building and discharged into the atmosphere in
the direction of other buildings within the facility.
B) Controls for the kettles were manually operated, all were not
equipped with alarm devices for abnormal conditions such as excessive
temperature or pressure, and none were equipped with high temperature
or pressure shut down devices.
C) Operating practices were inadequate in that kettles were not required
to be continuously attended by operators while in use.
D) Operating procedures were inadequate in that written instruction for
kettle cleaning operations using solvents such as "PX solvent" were
not developed and implemented.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct this hazard are:
1) Provide discharge piping to a safe location such as but not limited
to a blow out tank or header pipe/flare system in accordance with
NFPA 35-1987 Standard for the manufacture of Organic Coatings.
2) Provide control systems which will automatically adjust the operating
condition of the kettles, provide audible or visual warning of
conditions of overpressure or temperature, and provide a high
temperature interlock in accordance with NFPA 35-1987.
3) Establish standard operating procedures which will require the
attendance of a trained qualified operator during kettle operations.
4) Establish written procedures for kettle cleaning operations which use
flammable solvents including kettle set up procedures and operating
procedures which include a defined sequence of steps emphasizing
those to be critical for process.
