General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occapational 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: a) On 10/12/88, employees were exposed to the hazards of a breach of containment of liquid anhydrous ammonia from the 15,000 lb. anhydrous ammonia storage tank adjacent to the S/E wall of the Lucas Avenue plant due to an over-pressurization caused by the failure of the two safety-relief valves on the tank which could result in chemical burns and/or asphyxiation by anhydrous ammonia. One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard is to inspect and test the safety - relief valves at intervals necessary to maintain the equipment in safe operating condition. The valves should be removed from service for testing at the time of internal inspection of the anhydrous ammonia storage tank, but at an interval not greater than 10 years, as stipulated in the National Board Inspection Code, Section U-106 and 4-111.
