Case Study 5: Sour Water Pipeline Repairs
Incorrect. Actually, the employer has not met these
provisions.
Employees, other than the employees performing the servicing and maintenance activity,
locked out/tagged out the tank farm's "sour water" valves. In addition, the OSHA
investigation revealed that neither the operator of the sour water stripping unit nor the
operator of the tank storage farm were trained as authorized employees to perform
servicing and maintenance activities.
