have records of location and status.

j) Perform an inventory of all maintenance tools and equipment (1) at

least annually and (2) after major planned outages. The quantities of

tools and equipment should be compared to previous inventories and

significant changes investigated. The inventory list should include

equipment items such as chain falls, lifting rigs, and scaffolding, as well

as all tools. This inventory should be maintained by a single

organization which is also responsible for the storage, issuance, and

control of tools and equipment.

3.4.1.5 The following items, as a minimum, should be addressed in the storage-

and- issuance process.

Both potentially contaminated and contaminated items should

remain within the RCA until verified by the appropriate

authority to be clean and safe to remove.

A job-planning process goal should be to ensure that the proper

items are available in the quantities required to support

scheduled maintenance requirements.

Instrument/motor/pump pools should maintain a supply of

critical items for designated applications.

Reuse of repaired items should be encouraged on the basis of

maintaining them in a high state of clean, safe, and reliable

readiness.

Specialty tools should be identified and stored for ready

retrieval.

Unusable items should be segregated from normal items for

dispositioning and to prevent inadvertent issue for use.

Instructions should be developed to define responsibility and

accountability for the proper storage and issuance of controlled

items.

The system should provide for storage areas that segregate items

to prevent cross-contamination or wrong selection for issue.

i) The system should provide for designating and controlling storage,

laydown, and staging areas.
