requirements.

E. Suitable storage is provided for tools, supplies, and equipment. Special tools,

jigs, and fixtures are identified and stored to permit retrieval when needed.

timely manner for operability and is recalibrated as necessary.

Fixed local area hosts and work platforms are provided, as needed, to facilitate

maintenance access to plant equipment.
