Equipment used to process, store, or handle highly hazardous chemicals must be designed constructed, installed and maintained to minimize the risk of release. A systematic, scheduled, test and maintenance program is preferred over "breakdown" maintenance " that could compromise safety. Elements of a mechanical integrity program include 1) identification and categorization of equipment and instrumentation, 2) documentation of manufacturer data on mean time to failure, 3 ) test and inspection frequencies, 4) maintenance procedures, 5) training of maintenance personnel, 6) test criteria, and 7) documentation of test and inspection results.

Maintenance includes athorough check of equipment or a device to give maximum assurance that the equipment or device will operate effectively and safely. It may be necessary to disassemble and reassemble the equipment or device to ensure a through examination. Maintenance procedures should follow manufacture s recommended guidelines or accepted practices developed by recognized authorities, such as NFPA. Documentation of maintenance activities should be part of the facility s mechanical integrity program and all documentation should be part of the equipment history file. [Pg.348]

Review the rest of the mechanical integrity program to ensure all critical equipment, piping, and pumps have acceptable integrity and an established inspection program with guidelines for repair. Include inspection and repair of fireproof insulation in the program. (By March 2002)... [Pg.376]

Clearly define a process for delaying maintenance and capital work in the event of budget constraints. Critical repair work should not be delayed. Environmental, Safety, and Health reviews should be conducted on delay of scheduled mechanical integrity program inspections. (Before startup)... [Pg.376]

Based upon the reports and the accompanying photos, there were apparent troubles with crowd control and other emergency response considerations. It also appears that there were equipment design shortcomings. Still, a top-notch viable mechanical integrity program would have eliminated or helped minimize the extent of the incident. [Pg.105]
