General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1910.119(c)(1):   The employer did not develop a written plan of
action regarding the
implementation of the employee participation required by 29 CFR 1910.119:
Employees are exposed to hazards of ammonia which could result in
asphyxiation,
explosion and flash fire. A written plan of action regarding employee
participation in the
development of process hazard analyses and elements of the process safety
management
of the ammonia refrigeration system had not been developed. The one page
document
identified as "PSM - Employee Participation" was inadequate in that it did
not outline the
specifics of how/in what manner employees will be involved in the
execution of the
facility's PSM program.
29 CFR 1903.19(c)(1) requires certification that the abatement of the
above violation is
completed.
