An employer has speeifie obligations to ensure all eontrol measures are kept in an effieient state, effieient working order and good repair. Engineering eontrols should be examined and tested at suitable intervals, e.g. loeal exhaust ventilation equipment must be tested at least onee every fourteen months, and more often for proeesses speeified in Table 5.23, and a reeord kept. Respirators and breathing apparatus must also be examined frequently and the eheeks reeorded.

Facility-specific system including modules for air emissions, calendar, facility and agency processes, groundwater, hazardous waste, incident response, permit tracking, solid (non-hazardous) waste, work orders, and wastewater. 

Database for management of sanitary and storm wastewater collection systems. Maintains field operations data including safety history, engineering data, inspection recoids, and work orders. Requires 640K memory and hard disk. 

A common solution, which satisfies both the inventory control and quality control, is to institute a stock requisition system. Authorization of requisitions may be given by a person s supervisor or can be provided via a work order. If someone has been authorized to carry out a particular job, this should authorize the person to requisition the items needed. Again for inventory control reasons, you may wish to impose a limit on such authority requiring the person to seek higher authority for items above a certain value. 

The explosion occurred because key instruments were not kept in working order. The flow indicator and low flow alarm (FIA) were out of order. They often were, and the operators had found that the plant could be operated without them. If there is no flow, they thought, J2 will have stopped, and this will stop Jl. 

More effort might have been made to keep the flow indicator alarm in working order. 

The immediate cause of the disaster was the contamination of an MIC storage tank by several tons of water and chloroform. A runaway reaction occurred, and the temperature and pressure rose. The relief valve lifted, and MIC vapor was discharged to atmosphere. The protective equipment, which should have prevented or minimized the release, was out of order or not in full working order the refrigeration system that should have cooled the storage tank was shut down, the scrubbing system that should have absorbed the vapor was not immediately available, and the flare system that should have burned any vapor that got past the scrubbing system was out of use. 

The contamination of the MIC was probably the result of sabotage [2], but, as we shall see, the results would have been much less serious if less MIC had been stored, if a shanty town had not grown up close to the plant, and if the protective equipment had been kept in full working order.

It is easy to buy safety equipment. All we need is money, and if we make enough fuss we get the equipment in the end. It is much more difficult to make sure the equipment is kept in full working order when the initial enthusiasm has faded. All procedures, including testing and maintenance procedures, are subject to a form of corrosion more rapid than that which affects the steelwork and can vanish without trace once managers lose interest. A continuous auditing effort is needed to make sure that procedures are maintained.

Number of hazard assessments conducted is most useful when compared with the plan and the number of work orders that may have required a hazard assessment. It provides a confirmation that hazard assessments are being conducting appropriately. 

Errors in instrumentation calibration have been reduced by 90 percent due to the elimination of multiple, outdated copies of calibration procedures/data sheets. An instrument mechanic can now get the current specification from a single, up-to-date source whenever a work order is received. The time wasted in searching multiple files has been eliminated. 

Within the maintenance system, there is generally a means to determine when maintenance work is required and when that work is completed. Different facilities call such records by different names, among them work orders, work requests, trouble tickets, maintenance records, and work authorizations. Despite the variation in names, this valuable information contains ... 

Sometimes it is necessary to review the narrative in raw data records to determine whether a failure has occurred, to establish failure modes and severities, and to see if a record is a duplicate or new failure. Often, the narrative section is the only way the data analyst can determine if the document, especially a work order, is for a legitimate failure, routine maintenance, or a specified test.

The removal of such impurities is relatively simple at a waterworks, but a typical plant cannot provide the chemical expertise needed to keep the process in good working order. Treatment should therefore be avoided if there is any reasonable economical alternative.

This fact is not designed to take away from the importance of either one. The good news is that the mechanics of planning and scheduling is the same for either daily/weekly or shutdown/project maintenance. Well planned work orders are the fundamental requirement of both routine and outage maintenance. Many organizations lose sight of this fact. 

No work orders added/received two weeks prior to start of shutdown. 

Require high level of approval to add on work orders. 

Repetitive shutdown work This type of work is developed by experienced maintenance and operations supervision based on prior shutdown experience, job knowledge, and required shutdown preventive maintenance tasks. Each agreed-upon job is assigned an annual work order number frequency, established, work order plans written, and is entered in the work order log. The handling of repetitive work orders will be the same as non-repetitive work orders, except one copy of the work plan will be substituted for the first copy of the work order. 

Completed work plans and any signed-off work orders should be submitted by the supervisor to their respective maintenance supervisor no later than the day after the job is completed. The maintenance supervisor should examine these documents for completeness and accuracy. 

If the work as called for on the work order is done in its entirety including steam tracing, insulation, clean up, etc., then the work order should be signed off. The supervisor should return the signed-off work order and the work plan to his supervisor who forwards them to planning. 

If for any reason the work as defined by the work order cannot be completed during the shutdown period, the work order should not be signed off. Instead, it should... 

If the work as called for on the work order is not completed due to lack of insulation, clean-up, tie-ins only being made, etc., but the shutdown portion of the work has been completed, then the first copy of the work order should be retained by the supervisor. The supervisor should then return the work plan to his supervisor denoting the reason for not completing work, explanation of variance, etc. The planning office will prepare a list of incomplete work following the shutdown and forward this list and a copy of the work orders to the appropriate maintenance supervisor for follow-up.
