29 CFR 1910.119(j)(2): The employer did not establish and implement written procedures to maintain the on-going mechanical integrity of process equipment: Sunoco MH- Ethylene Complex- Sunoco failed to establish and implement written procedures to maintain the on-going mechanical integrity of process piping systems.

No written procedures were implemented to address this recognized point of concern for corrosion.
