a:
The NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code 2008 Edition, is a
Recognized Industry Standard of recommended practices, that provide
fundamental
safeguards for the storage, handling, and use of flammable and combustible
liquids.
a)At Caribbean Petroleum Refining in Bayamon employees that worked
performing routine tasks such as tank operator, waste treatment operator,
loading rack operator, amoung others were exposed or could be exposed to
flammable and combustible release, fire and or explosion during the
performance of there duties. At the tank farm area the employer stored
gasoline, jet fuel, fuel oil and diesel, in above ground tanks, ranging
from 500
to 500,000 barrels. The employer did not review the Operational hazard of a
large Hydrocarbon release from on-site piping entering the process sewer
and
storm water sewer systems. Equipment hazards like the additional hazards
created by the use of expansion joints on the gasoline transfer lines at
the
Cummins pump station area. Human factors analysis related to what could
occur if operators did not follow instructions for conducting rounds or
gauging
tanks. Level reading erroneous at the tank gauge and at the operators
console.
Additional hazards created when operators had  to read tank sight gauge
levels
during the night in low light conditions. Lack of formal written operating
procedures for determining the level of storage tanks during filling
operations.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is:
1.Follow NFPA 30 - 6.4.1 Operation involving flammable and
combustible liquids shall be reviewed to ensure that fire and explosion
hazards resulting from the loss of containment of liquids are provided
with corresponding fire prevention,fire control, and emergency action
plans. The extent of fire prevention and control that is provided shall
be determined in consultation with the authorities having jurisdiction or
by means of an engineering evaluation of the the operation and
aplication of sound fire protection and process engineneering principles.
This evaluation shall include, but not be limited to the following:
a.Analysis of the fire and explosion hazards of the operation.
b.Analysis of applicable facility design requirements in Chapters17, 18,
19, 28, and 29.
c.Analysis of applicable requirements for liquid handling, transfer,
and use, as covered in Chapters 17, 18, 19, 28, and 29.

reglamento de practicas reconocidas por la industria, que proporcionan las
salvaguardias fundamentales para el manejo, almacenaje, y uso de liquidos
flamables
y combustibles.
a)En Caribbean Petroleum Refining in Bayamon empleados que trabajaban
realizando tareas tales como operador de tanque operador de tratamiento de
aguas, operador de carga entre otras fueron expuestos o podrian estar
expuestos  a liberacion de productos quimicos flamables, combustible, fuego
y/o explosion durante el desempeno de sus deberes. En el area de la granja
el
patrono almacenaba en tanques sobre el terreno  gasolina, jet fuel, fuel
oil y
diesel, que tenian capacidad que fluctuaba entre 500 a 500,000 barriles. El
patrono no reviso los riesgos operacionales asociados con un escape grande
de
gasolina por la linea dentro de las facilidades que entre al
alcantarillado de
aguas de proceso o  el de agua de escorrentia. Riesgos adicionales de los
equipos como el creado por  el uso de expansiones en la linea de
transferencia
de gasolina en el area de bombeo de las bombas  cummins. Analisis de los
factores humanos relacionados a lo que podria ocurrir si el operador no
seguia
las instrucciones relacionadas a sus rondas o lectura de nivel de los
tanques.
Lecturas de nivel erroneas en el indicador de los tanques y en la consola
de los
operadores. Los riesgos adicionales creados cuando el operador tenia que
leer
el indicador de nivel del tanque durante la noche con poca visibilidad.
Falta de
procedimientos operacionales formal para poder determinar el nivel del
tanques
durante operaciones de llenado.
Entre otros metodos, un metodo razonable y aceptable para corregir este
riesgo
es:
1.Seguir el NFPA 30 - 6.4.1 operaciones que contemplen el uso de
liquidos inflamables y combustibles deben ser revisadas para asegurar
que los riesgos de fuego y explosion resultantes de la perdida de
contencion de liquidos son provistos con los correspondientes plan de
control de fuego. El alcance de la prevencion y control de incendios se
determinaran en consulta con la autoridad competente o por medio de
una evaluacion tecnica de la operacion y la aplicacion de  proteccion
contra incendios adecuada y los principios tecnicos de los procesos.
Esta evaluacion debera incluir, pero no ser limitada a lo siguiente:
a.Analisis de la operacion para los riesgos de fuego y explosion.
b.Analisis de los requisitos aplicables para el diseno de la facilidad
contenidos en los Capitulos 17, 18, 19, 28 y 29.c.Analisis de los
requisitos aplicables en el manejo, transferencia
y uso de liquidos cubiertos en los Capitulos 17, 18, 19, 28 y 29.

installation and operation of tanks 409  and 107, which would have included
the safety and health impacts of not installing an automatic tank
overfilling
system, the lack of formal written operating procedures for tank filling
operations, or the development and implementation of maintenance procedures
for tank level systems including the calibration of the tank level
readings at the
operators console, with the tank gauge levels and the actual levels
contained in
the tanks.
b)No MOC from the change from those tanks systems that were originally
installed with automatic overfill systems but due to maintenance issues
with
those system, CAPECO decided to use only unwritten operating procedures to

leakage. External inspections shall include surveys for the condition of
piping hangers and supports. Instances of cracked or broken hangers,
"bottoming out" of spring supports, support shoes displaced from
support members, or other improper restraint conditions shall be
reported and corrected. Bellows expansion joints should be inspected
visually for unusual deformations, misalignment, or displacements thatmay
exceed design. Non standard piping components (e.g flex hoses)
may have different degradation mechanisms. Specialist engineers or
manufacture data sources may need to be consulted in developing valid
inspection plans for these components. The inspector should examine
the piping system for the presence of any field modifications or
temporary repairs not previously recorded on the piping drawings
and/or records. The inspector also should be alert to the presence of
any components that may be unsuitable for long-term operation.

a)At Caribbean Petroleum Refining in Bayamon employees that worked
performing routine tasks such as tank operator, waste treatment operator,
loading rack operator, among others were exposed or could be exposed to
flammable and combustible spills or release, fire and or explosion during
the
performance of there duties. In the Tank Farm Area there was approximately
45 above ground steel tanks ranging in capacity from 500 to  500,000
barrels
which were used for the storage and distribution of gasoline, diesel, fuel
oil,
and jet fuel. Products were transfered to and from the tanks via above and
under ground pipelinesThe employer did not have an inspection system for
the
entire system of pipes in service, to determine the intregrity of product
transfer
piping at the facility. The employer provided some documentation of daily
and
monthly inspection for visible leak to the Pipes racks. This inspection
was to
comply with SPCC but did not comply with the API 570 - 5.5.4 External
Visual Inspection. In 2007, the employer inspected aboveground pipeline
from
dock to plant but did not inspected the the entire pipeline system inside
the
facility.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is:
1.Follow API 570 - 6.3.3 Inspection Intervals. If Risk-based inspection
(RBI) is not being used, the interval between piping inspections shall be
established and maintained using the following criteria:
a)corrosion rate and remaining life calculations;
b)piping service classification;
c)applicable jurisdictional requirements;
d)judgment of the inspector, the piping engineer, the piping
engineer supervisor, or a materials specialist, based on operating
conditions, previous inspection history, current inspectionresults, and
conditions that may warrant suplemental inspections
covered in 5.5.6.

inspecciones en las tuberias debe ser establecido y mantenido utilizando
los siguientes criterios:
a)razon de corrosion y calculos de la vida restante;
b)clasificacion del servicio de la tuberia;
c)requisitos de la jurisdiccion aplicables;
d)estimacion del inspector, del ingeniero de lineas, del supervisor del

of the
underground gasoline product pipe northwest of the YP-7A Cummins pump
and was not investigated. PR OSHA requested this report on 2/18/10, but was
not provided by the employer at any time during PR OSHA inspection process.
.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to

failures in piping that occur as a result of corrosion, cracking or
mechanical damage shall be reported and recorded to the owner-user.
As with other piping failures, leaks and failures in piping systems shall
be investigated to identify and correct the cause of failure. Temporary
repairs to piping systems shall be documented in the inspection records.

riesgos es:
1.Seguir el API 570 - 7.9 Reportes de Fallas en Tuberia y Escapes.
Escapes y fallas en tuberias que ocurren como resultado de corrosion,
agrietamiento o dano mecanico deben ser reportados y registrados al
dueno/usuario. Como con otras fallas en las tuberias, escapes y fallas
en los sistemas de tuberias deben ser investigados para identificar y

de carga, entre otros fueron o podrian estar expuestos a liberacion
deproductos quimicos inflamables, combustible, fuego y/o explosion. En el
area
de la granja se almacenaba en tanques sobre el terreno  gasolina, jet
fuel,
fuel
oil y diesel, que iban  de 500 a 500,000 barriles. La compania no mantuvo
registros del historial de los tanques. El patrono tenia una tabla
titulada:
Storage Tanks Mechanical Inspection Records; donde algunos de los tanques
no tenian ningun comentario o columna llena que no fuera la ultima fecha de
la inspeccion interna (ejemplo: tanques 301, 302, 603 y 604) y dicha
inspeccion fue hace mas de 10 anos. Se le pidio copia de los registros del
historial de las inspecciones y el patrono indico que no habia ninguna.
(Documentos Solicitados el 18/02/10).
Entre otros metodos, un metodo razonable y aceptable para corregir este
riesgo
es:
1.Seguir el API 653 - 6.8.3 Antecedentes de Inspeccion. Los antecedentes
de inspeccion incluyen todas las medidas tomadas, la condicion de
todas las partes inspeccionadas, y un registro de todas las inspecciones
y pruebas. Se debe incluir una descripcion completa de cualquier
condicion fuera de lo normal con las recomendaciones para la
correccion de las circunstancias que causaron la condicion. Este
registro ademas abarcara los calculos del coeficiente de corrosion y del
intervalo de inspeccion.
