New Refinery Safety Rules in California Pass

Engineers discussing maintenance of a petrochemical plant. Technical inspection. Oil and gas industry.

In May, 2017, regulators passed a significant measure to protect the well-being of refinery workers in California. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (OSHA) approved regulations designed to enhance safety management procedures at oil refineries throughout the state. These rules are intended to guarantee that the refineries in California adhere to the highest level of safety possible.

The regulations were endorsed by leading agencies, including the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, after issuing a report on the refinery pipe rupture and explosion of the Chevron Richmond refinery pipe. The crux of the new regulation is the refinery safety order, which will be enforced by Cal/OSHA’s Process Safety Management Unit. Under the regulations, refinery employers must abide by a number of new requirements. The employers must perform Damage Mechanism Reviews for conduct that results in the deterioration of materials or equipment. They also must perform an analysis referred to as a Hierarchy of Hazard Controls Analysis to establish effective safety measures in light of the costs associated with such reform. Similarly, oil refinery owners must initiate a Human Factors Program. This program analyzes human factors affecting health standards at the factory. Such factors may include training, competency and the number of hours worked in each shift. Oil refineries must also adopt written rules to guarantee that plant safety standards remain consistent despite organizational or managerial reform.

New safety regulations are part of a broader effort to limit the release of toxic substances into the environment that impose substantial risks to humans as well as the environment. Together with the California Accidental Release Prevention program, the OSHA rules are regarded as a significant step toward reforming the conduct of refineries in California.

Many refineries in California have already adopted at least some of the measures set forth in the regulations. While conforming refineries have seen improvements in the health and safety of their facilities and workers, the industry as a whole still must make significant improvements in these areas. Significant refinery incidents continue to jeopardize workers as well as residents in neighboring communities.
