|PURPOSE: |
| |
|The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Process Safety Management (PSM) element and the corresponding Environmental Protection|
|Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program (RM Program) element relating to Process Safety Information (PSI), is to ensure that there is a complete |
|compilation of written process safety information pertaining to the PSM / RM program covered process. |
|SCOPE: |
| |
|This document summarizes how DELHAIZE AMERICA LLC complies with the requirements of the PSM, Process Safety Information element, 29 CFR |
|§1910.119 (d), and the EPA’s RM program, Process Safety Information element, 40 CFR §68.65 for the ammonia refrigeration system. The process |
|safety information requirement is intended to provide an adequate database to support the required elements of a process safety management |
|program. Process safety information is needed: |
| |
|to document formally the as-built/as-modified condition of the plant; |
| |
|to provide the necessary data with which to perform the required hazard analysis and hazard assessment; |
| |
|to provide the necessary data to support other process safety management policy, procedure, and practice elements, such as standard operating |
|procedures, and emergency response and management of change procedures; and |
| |
|to communicate information on hazardous substances to employees and others as required by state or federal regulations. |

|DEFINITIONS: |
| |
|Equipment Specifications: |
|The most important information available about the operation of equipment and subsystems in the ammonia refrigeration system is located in the |
|facility’s installation, operation and maintenance manuals. These manuals are kept in the refrigeration office. |
|Good Practice: |
|All systems and equipment have been designed, fabricated, or installed in accordance with, at a minimum, the following codes and/or standards, |
|as applicable: |
|ANSI/IIAR 2, American National Standard for Equipment, Design & Installation of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigerating Systems. |
|ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15, Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration. |
|ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants. |
|ASME, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Division 1, Section VIII. |
|ASME/ANSI B31.5, Refrigeration Piping. |
|ANSI A13.1, Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems. |
|ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code. |
|IMPLEMENTATION OVERVIEW: |
| |
|For the most part, the PSM program is a subset of the EPA’s RM program requirements. Recognizing this for the process safety information |
|requirements, and for improved implementation and program maintenance efficiency, this document has been implemented which combines both the |
|PSM and RM program requirements. The overall compliance program is referred to as the “Process Risk Management Program”. |
| |
|This document serves mainly as a reference guide to identify the types of information specified in the regulations. |
| |
|The process safety information is available in the refrigeration office and on the Stellar portal. |
| |
| |
|1.0 |REQUIRED INFORMATION: |
| | |
| |Process safety information describes certain safety attributes of ammonia, the process in which it is used, and the equipment |
| |within that process. It is comprehensive enough for an accurate assessment of all the hazards that may occur within the process |
| |during normal and upset conditions. |
| | |
| |The process safety information is required to be compiled and maintained up-to-date. It is to be made available to all employees|
| |and is to be included, as necessary, in employee training programs. Process safety information must cover: |
| | |
| |information pertaining to the hazards of ammonia; |
| |information pertaining to the technology of the process; and |
| |information pertaining to the equipment in the process. |
| | |
|1.1 |Hazards of the chemicals used in the process: |
| | |
| |Physical data (i.e. boiling point temp., vapor pressure, vapor density, etc.) |
| |Toxicity data (i.e. TLV, PEL, IDLH, etc.) |
| |Thermal and chemical stability data (i.e. flammability limits, flash point, autoignition temp., etc.) |
| |Reactivity data |
| |Corrosivity data |
| |Erosion effects on the process equipment |
| |Monitoring equipment |
| |Permissible exposure limits |
| |Hazards related to mixing with other chemicals |
| | |
| |Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s) are used in compiling information on anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant, its chemical properties, and |
| |health and safety hazards. |
|1.2 |Process technology information: |
| | |
| |Maximum inventory levels |
| |Block Flow or Simplified Process Flow diagram |
| |Safe operating limits for: |
| |--temperature |
| |--pressure |
| |--flow rates |
| |--liquid levels |
| |Ramification of process deviation |
| | |
| |The process technology information is generally included in equipment specifications, operating procedures, or on drawings. |
|1.3 |Process equipment: |
| | |
| |Materials of construction |
| |Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) |
| |Electrical classification |
| |Design codes and standards |
| |Pressure safety relief settings |
| |Safety systems/devices |
| |Ventilation system design |
| |Material and energy balances (for facilities built after May 26, 1992) |
| |Compliance with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices |
| | |
|2.0 |PIPING AND INSTRUMENTATION DIAGRAM (P&ID): |
| | |
|2.1 |A Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) is a mechanical schematic drawing of the plant refrigeration equipment. Details such|
| |as piping, relief valves, refrigeration control valve type, valves, instruments, line numbers, and refrigeration equipment are |
| |shown on the P&ID. The P&ID, while not drawn to scale, does show relative sizes and locations. Instrumentation including such |
| |details as tie-in points, instrument numbers, control valve numbers, and panel or local control mounting details are shown. A |
| |list of the P&IDs are listed in Appendix A |
| |A title sheet or legend is available for all the P&IDs. It contains a complete legend of the symbol and abbreviations used on |
|2.2 |the refrigeration system P&IDs |
| | |
|2.3 |Each piece of equipment is labeled and may be assigned a numerical abbreviation. Abbreviations are correlated to names on the |
| |equipment list. |
|2.4 |Major equipment, valving, instruments, and safety systems are also shown on the P&IDs. |
