Chem Tech failed to implement portions of the process hazard analysis, operating procedures, mechanical integrity, compliance audit, training, hazard assessment, and process safety information elements that are required of a program level 3 facility. A concurrent Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) is being issued with this ACO.
This ACO requires Chem Tech to 1) update its process safety information to include an electrical classification and a compilation of the design codes and standards used; 2) establish a system to promptly address process hazard analysis findings; 3) incorporate health and safety information into its operating procedures; 4) ensure training on the process for each employee is completed; 5) inspect the facility?s fire suppression system; and 6) install panic hardware on egress doors. These requirements address the violations set forth in the FOV issued to Chem Tech on April 16, 2024.
