Cameron LNG’s primary contractor received two federal safety citations and one in-house order to correct an “environmental non-compliance” issue in September, according to a monthly progress report filed by Cameron LNG.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued the two safety citations to Cameron LNG’s contractor — a joint-venture between Chicago Bridge & Iron and Chiyoda International Corp. — for worker conditions at the Hackberry site, where the contractor is building a liquefied natural gas export facility.
CB&I spokeswoman Gentry Brann said the contractor is now working with OSHA to ensure that it’s “building the project in the safest possible manner.” OSHA spokesman Chauntra Rideaux confirmed that CB&I contacted OSHA about the citations. She said today is the last day CB&I can dispute OSHA’s report.
In addition to the federal citations, Cameron LNG issued an environmental non-compliance notice to the contractor for failing to prevent “turbid water” — rainwater that has come in contact with project material — from flowing offsite, the progress report says. It says additional check dams have been installed and other measures taken to stop the flow.
The monthly report was submitted by Cameron LNG to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as required. FERC approved the construction of Cameron LNG in 2014. Now, over 4,000 people are working on the project, Cameron LNG spokeswoman Julie Nelson said. She said construction is expected to end in 2018.
The report says construction is on schedule as of September. It says workers installed pipes and conduit, erected structural steel and brought in major equipment in September, most notably the main cryogenic heat exchanger — the tower in which gas is cooled to liquid form for transport.
The report also recorded two medical treatment injuries, 116 health events requiring first aid and 22 “near misses” — occasions where injuries to a person or property almost occurred — in September. Nelson said the number of medical incidents is comparable to previous months, although no “lost-time incidents” resulted.
Brann highlighted the fact that CB&I has celebrated “10 million work hours without a lost-time incident on the Cameron LNG project, a significant milestone.” She said CB&I employs “rigorous safety processes” to comply with OSHA and ensure its workers are safe.
