The United States Department of Labor Cited PA Refinery for Process Safety Management Hazards after Fire and Explosions
In Philadelphia, OSHA cited Philadelphia Energy Solutions for safety and health hazards related to process safety management after a fire at the company’s Girard Point Refinery Complex in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
OSHA’s inspection found deficiencies in the refinery’s PSM program including failing to establish or implement written procedures.
“When employers fail to evaluate and address potential hazardous conditions associated with chemical processes, catastrophic events such as this can occur,” said OSHA Philadelphia Area Director Theresa Downs. “OSHA’s Process Safety Management standard requires that employers conduct regular inspections to ensure process equipment meets industry standards.”
