OSHA 1910.119(e)(6)
What it means on the job
This fails OSHA PSM requirements. OSHA 1910.119(e)(6) explicitly requires that the Process Hazard Analysis be updated and revalidated at least every 5 years. The plant's PHA is now 7 years old and 2 years past the mandatory revalidation deadline. The revalidation requirement exists because process conditions, equipment condition, personnel, and industry knowledge of hazards change over time, even without intentional process modifications. Additionally, incident investigations, near-misses, and new regulatory guidance since the original PHA may reveal hazards not previously identified. The 5-year revalidation is mandatory regardless of whether process changes have occurred.

BAS controllers must be on a segregated network (VLAN or separate physical network) with firewall protection from general IT traffic. Default passwords must be changed, and access should be restricted to authorized personnel. NIST SP 800-82 provides cybersecurity guidelines for industrial control systems. Unsecured BAS devices have been exploited in real attacks to disrupt building operations and gain access to corporate networks.

Removing an MCC bucket while the bus is energized exposes the worker to live 480V bus stabs and creates an arc flash hazard. OSHA 1910.147 and NFPA 70E require the MCC to be de-energized and locked out/tagged out before withdrawing any bucket unless the equipment is specifically designed for hot-swap operation.
