Having inspected the bring area, the fall-out area and the spectators enclosure, it is time to consult the check-list and to commence the unloading of the breworks. It is prudent to place NO SMOKING signs within 50 metres of all breworks, and mobile communication equipment should be banned from the vicinity because of the radio hazard if the display is to be bred electrically. 

Proper Use of Equipment. Are personnel schooled in the proper techniques of equipment use Do they use check lists for operation of complicated machinery Will they report their own mistakes quickly so that the situation can be corrected before more damage is done Silent covering of human mistakes has ruined many gallons of wine. Build trust in the workers for your quality control effort and attempt to remove fear of being caught in a mistake. 

Of the many factors which contribute to poor estimates of capital investments, the most significant one is usually traceable to sizable omissions of equipment, services, or auxiliary facilities rather than to gross errors in costing. A check list of items covering a new facility is an invaluable aid in making a complete estimation of the fixed-capital investment. Table 1 gives a typical list of these items. 

Definition of an improved up-to-date specification of the start-up process. Several deficiencies of the original process could be remedied. For instance, in some cases the location of equipment, hand valves, etc. hat not been considered when the original check lists had been created. Thus, a staff member strictly following these sequences would have to cover a considerable distance within the plant during a start-up. By rearranging some of the sequences, such distances could be reduced. 

Before packaging operations are begun, steps should be taken to ensure that the work area, packaging lines, printing machines and other equipment are dean and free from any products, materials or documents previously used, if these are not required for the current operation. The line-clearance should be performed according to an appropriate check-list... 

The last information service to be specifically mentioned is the engineer s personal experience file. It should be applied last, but it is most important. Attempts have been made to publish certain standardized specifications for mechanical equipment, but so far this has not been done in a general fashion for a large number of types of chemical equipment thus it is still the fundamental job of the engineer to keep his own check list. This should contain details of the specifications and, in particular, should have underscored the obvious details most frequently omitted. 

A list of only the most appropriate international standards should be included. The title, identification number and latest revision number should be given. If too many standards for the type of equipment are listed, then much confusion can arise at a later date when the quality assurance checks are made. Some standards have similar titles but have subtle differences and applications. (Mixing European and US standards can give rise to misinterpretations of their definitions and suitability as they are not necessarily identically equivalent to each other, such as in the case with some BSI and lEC standards that meet the CENELEC harmonisation norms.)... 

When you arrive at the list and enter the induction room there is no one about. The operating list is there and you note that a new case has been added to the end of the list. You cast a quick eye over the anaesthetic equipment in the operating theatre and everything appears to be normal. You decide not to do a cockpit equipment check so that you may use the time to check up on the new patient. 

This section requires that before operating intermodal equipment over the road, the driver accepting the equipment must inspect the equipment components listed in 392.7 (the basic components that must be checked during a pre-trip inspection) and be satisfied they are in good working order. There is no documentation reqmrements attached to this inspection. By leaving the lEPs facility with the equipment the driver (and by extension the carrier) is certifying that the equipment is acceptable. 

Methods, procedures, and check lists for process operations with nuclear hazard potential eu e prepcured to ensure that execution of maintenance work, process functions, inspections, functional tests of critical equipment, reactor startup preparations, and reactor operations are conducted In accordance with Process Standards and Equipment Maintenance Standards. Special operating and maintenance procedures are provided for in-reactor test facilities. 

Safety check lists for regular inspection of specific items of machinery or equipment (e.g., on a monthly basis). 

Necessary equipment and pharmacologic medication then needs to be made available to ensure smooth intubation. Essential equipment is listed in Table 3.3. Pharmacologic medications consist of hypnotic and paralytic agents and are listed in Table 3.4. All patients should have cardiopulmonary monitoring with cardiac, blood pressure, and pulse oximeter monitors. Intravenous lines should be checked for their patency. The choice of sedative or hypnotic agents will depend on the patient s hemodynamic status, with etomidate and ketamine usually preferred in the hemodynamically unstable patient. The administration of a paralytic agent has... 

In this section, we begin to analyze and to justify the conditions of special concern found in a process flow diagram. To help with this analysis, it is beneficial to prepare a process conditions matrix (PCM). In the PCM, all the equipment is listed vertically and the conditions of special concern are listed horizontally. Each unit is reviewed for conditions of special concern, and a check mark is used to identify which pieces of equipment have been identified. The PCM for the toluene hydrodeallg lation process is shown in Table 6.5. The information for this PCM was obtained from Chapter 1, and you should verify that none of the areas of special concern have been missed. 

Commissioning staff may participate effectively in a review of line diagrams using check-lists prepared using information from experience of similar plants or equipment. This type of check conesponds in part to hazaid and operability (Hazop) checks generally practised for new projects.

Safety Systems. Major expenditures here include the flare system (the flare structures and large lines extending throughout the plant) and the iirevvater system (high-capacity pumps and extensive piping). Safety systems, fortunately, are usually given particular attention. At this study phase, the main thrust should be to check the completeness of licensor equipment lists for cost estimation purposes. 

The relative merits of various MO methods have been discussed in die literature. In general, the ab initio type of calculations will be more reliable, but the semiempirical calculations are faster in terms of computer time. The complexity of calculation also increases rapidly as the number of atoms in the molecule increases. The choice of a method is normally made on the basis of evidence that the method is adequate for the problem at hand and the availability of appropriate computer programs and equipment. Results should be subjected to critical evaluation by comparison widi experimental data or checked by representative calculations using higher-level mediods. Table 1.12 lists some reported deviations from experimental AHf for some small hydrocarbons. The extent of deviation gives an indication of the accuracy of the various types of MO calculations in this application. 

Check HVAC maintenance records against equipment lists. Collect existing maintenance and calibration records and check them against the construction documents (e.g., equipment lists and mechanical plans). Equipment that has been installed in inaccessible or out-of-the-way locations is frequently overlooked during routine maintenance. 

Figure 7-14, Operational Check Sheet [25], lists 16 possible causes of overpressure in a process system. There are many others, and each system should be reviewed for its peculiarities. System evaluation is the heart of a realisdc, safe and yet economJcal overpressure protection installation on any single equipment or any group of equipment. Solving formulas with the wrong basis and/or data can be disastrous. The following should be reviewed ...
