CITGO Petroleum Corp. takes corrective action after U.S. Labor Department’s OSHA conducts safety inspection OSHA applauds quick action to correct safety violations at Lemont, Ill. refinery<\/span><\/p>\n
LEMONT, Ill. — The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and CITGO Petroleum Corp. have agreed on a settlement after the agency’s safety inspection revealed multiple violations of federal workplace safety standards at the company’s Lemont refinery.<\/p>\n
CITGO has agreed to pay $155,250 in fines and already has taken corrective action to eliminate unsafe working conditions.<\/p>\n
OSHA initiated a safety inspection at the facility in August 2007 in response to the Agency’s national emphasis program for petroleum refineries. OSHA found during the inspection that the company failed to include pressure relief system design and design bases in the process safety information, failed to document that equipment in the refining process complied with good engineering practice, and failed to develop normal operating procedures. Additional issues addressed by CITGO were hazards found in process hazard analysis including: potential fire hazards<\/a>; development of emergency procedures<\/a>; failure to follow recognized and good engineering practice for inspection and testing procedures; inadequate training and education of employees; and other violations of federal safety regulations.<\/p><\/blockquote>
