THE QUICK READ
Tyson Fresh Meats' Amarillo, Texas plant turns cattle into fresh beef cuts, specialty products, and ground beef patties, with workers running the fabrication lines that break carcasses down into finished products. The facility carries roughly 150,291 pounds of ammonia for refrigeration — enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules apply above 10,000 pounds. Tyson has named Amarillo one of three beef plants it is now concentrating its processing around, and the company plans to bring a second shift back online as cattle supply allows.
