Prepare a detailed plan, including written alternate oil draining procedures. Items to include: valve numbers, Lockout / Tagout isolation points, order of isolation, etc. Identify and verify locations for purging / draining. Check the Manufacturer’s Operation and Maintenance Manuals for information or special instructions to be followed for isolation. If the services of outside contractors are to be utilized, all contractor’s operations are to be supervised by our personnel per the “Contractor Qualification Program”.

The technician in charge of this procedure must field verify piping to assure shutdown will not create safety or operational issues See The Lockout / Tagout Program for details. Refer to the PPE Assessment for Mechanical Repair for a list of appropriate PPE.
