Document the information used to determine procedure requirements. This

documentation may include a list of procedures used or referred to during the

research (the worksheets in Appendix A provide a sample of how information may

be documented).

Facility Configuration

To ensure the technical adequacy and accuracy of process and equipment information in

the procedure, perform a detailed check (walkthrough).

[1]

Study technical safety requirements, the safety analysis report, or other documents

to understand the process. Refer to appropriate drawings before and during

walkthroughs.

[2]

Perform an appropriate assessment (using walkdowns, simulations, modeling, or

desk-top reviews) to note

C Equipment configuration

C Nameplate information

C Environmental or location factors that may influence procedure performance or

increase the safety risk to the user, such as radiation or chemical hazards,

equipment locations requiring ladders, special lighting, scaffolding, or rigging.

If practical, observe the activity being performed (or a simulation of the

performance) and similar activities. Observing an activity can identify activity
