health, safety and well-being of Site workers and facilities, the public, and environment, as

applicable.”

SHALL / MUST – Denotes project requirements, compliance is required

SHOULD – Denotes recommendation or expectation, compliance is expected.

SPECIFICATION – Refers to any design, fabrication or supply specification.

SHIPPING – The movement of items from an off-site/project location (VENDOR, warehouse, etc.)

location. Shipping requirements include packaging and securing of items to protect against

damage or deterioration which could occur during movement and transportation, protection

against physical damage due to excessive shock or vibration, protection against entry of dirt,

water, or other contaminants, and protection against other environmental conditions such as

temperature or humidity.

STORAGE – Holding of items in areas that address: the probable maximum period to be held,

easily identified without excessive handling or unnecessary opening of crates

and boxes.

E. Coverings. Weatherproof coverings, when used for outdoor storage, shall be the

flame-resistant type of sheeting or tarpaulins. They shall be placed so as to

provide drainage and to ensure air circulation to minimize condensation. They

shall be tied down to prevent moisture from entering and to protect the coverings

from wind damage.

F. Outdoor Storage. Items stored outdoors shall be positioned or covered to avoid

trapping moisture in pockets or internally. For example, valves shall be

positioned such that water does not collect under the bonnet but can drain from

the valve packing area.

1.6.5.4 Control of Items in Storage

A. Inspections

Inspections shall be performed and documented on a periodic basis to ensure

that the integrity of the item and its container, as provided for under Sections

1.6.3 and 1.6.5, is being maintained. Deficiencies noted shall be corrected and

documented. The characteristics verified during this inspection shall include such

items as:

1. Identification and marking

2. Protective covers and seals

3. Coatings and preservatives

4. Desiccants and inert gas blankets

5. Physical damage

6. Cleanness

B. Care of Items

Requirements for proper maintenance during storage shall be documented in

storage records described by VENDOR’s PSSH plan. Care of items in storage

(includes storage in place) shall be exercised in accordance with the following:

1. Items in storage shall have all covers, caps, plugs, or other closures

intact. Methods used to seal openings shall be in accordance with

Section 1.6.3.9. Covers removed for internal access shall be

manufacturer.

5. Space heaters enclosed in electrical items shall be energized.

6. Rotating electrical equipment shall be given insulation resistance

tests on a scheduled basis.

known to have been heated to an ambient temperature of over 150°F (65°C) or

subjected to smoke contamination shall be withheld from installation or use until

it has been thoroughly examined, and the item has been verified to be in

conformance with specified requirements.

1.6.5.5 Removal of Items from Storage

Only items that have been inspected and are considered acceptable for installation or

use in accordance with the associated receiving inspection procedure (if applicable)

shall be removed from storage for installation or use.

conformance, and personnel authorized access to the storage location(s).

1.6.5.7 Refer to equipment specific specifications for long term storage requirements (if

applicable).

1.6.5.8 VENDOR shall specify any additional environmental storage requirements (e.g.

temperature range, humidity, range, protection from precipitation) and required

maintenance during storage (e.g. pump/rotor rotation schedule).
