Page 3 of 20

1. Preparing for Non-Standard Oil Draining STEP/ACTION 1. Ensure a Maintenance Work Order has been prepared and authorized. If you are a visiting Refrigeration Service Technician, ask your facility contact for all forms and authorization needed for the scope of your work. 2. From time to time, it may become necessary to drain oil at a location that is not a normal drain (non-standard). Since the nature and complexity of such a procedure is totally unique to the program or plan at the time, it is not possible to anticipate every possible potential location; therefore, it is not possible to provide complete step by step instructions for such a procedure, in advance. 3. If the oil drain is in preparation for a change requiring a Management of Change procedure, prepare a Management of Change Form including complete Engineering Design Review for any change and a preliminary Safety and Health Review or Process Hazard Analysis as required. 4. Verify the delivery of materials necessary for the work. (Fittings, valves, etc.).

COMMENT

Work orders are required for all maintenance activities. Consult your supervisor or facility contact if you have questions.

See the “Management of Change Policy”, located in the PSM/RMP Program.

The materials must conform to the design standards. See the Appendix 9B “Ammonia System Design Specifications” located in the PSM/RMP Program. NOTE: The operation of motorized lift trucks requires specialized training. Work performed on the Ammonia Refrigeration System must be performed by trained ammonia refrigeration operators or Ammonia Refrigeration Technicians. See the “Contractor Qualification Program”, located in the PSM/RMP Program. NOTE: Make sure welding done on the Refrigeration System is done only by welders certified for the work to be accomplished.

5. Verify the training and certification, if applicable, of the Operators that will be utilizing the equipment and working on the system.

6. Verify the qualifications of the contractors and individual contract employees that will be working on the system.
