General-duty citation text
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 inhalation of toxic chemicals, fire and thermal burn, and struck-by hazards caused by the rupture of aboveground atmospheric storage tank containing flammable and combustible products. The employer failed to perform inspections and test on atmospheric storage tanks in accordance with Recognized and Generally Accepted Good engineering Practices (RAGAGEP), exposing employees to serious fire, explosion and toxic release hazards in the event a leak or rupture were to occur as a result of corrosion and or wall thinning. The employer did not develop and implement an inspection plan or procedure to perform internal and external inspection to ensure the ongoing integrity of any of the facilities atmospheric storage tanks and charge tanks. Feasible means of abatement, among others, include the following: 1) Adhere to the tank manufacturers instructions (2 Adhere API RP 575, section 6.1 FREQUENCY OF INSPECTION - Tanks covered by API Std 653 should be checked at least monthly. These routine in-service inspections should include checking for corrosion, leaks, settlement, distortion, and determining the condition of the foundation, insulation systems, and paint systems. The value of the API Std 653 informal monthly inspection is to detect changes. Personnel experienced in the tanks operation usually perform the monthly inspection. Observations, especially changed conditions, should be reported to a tank specialist for further assessment and evaluation. (3 Adhere API Std 653, section 6.4.2 INSPECTION INTERVALS - The interval from initial service until the initial internal inspection shall not exceed 10 years.
