Facility Inspection Guidelines

DOE-STD-1072-94

The following process applies to inspection zones:

3.4.1.1 The facility should be divided into inspection zones. Inspection zones

should be numbered for identification.

3.4.1.2 Inspection zones should be assigned to department managers by job title

(e.g., zone 1 assigned to the maintenance administration manager).

3.4.1.3 Periodically, each inspection zone should be assigned to a different

department manager. This should help ensure consistency throughout the

facility.

The following process applies to scheduling:

3.4.2.1 A schedule should be established that ensures each inspection zone is

inspected approximately every two weeks.

3.4.2.2 Schedules should specify the week in which the inspection should be

accomplished and what general inspection category should be concentrated

on. The day and time of inspection should be left to the department

manager's discretion.

3.4.2.3 At the beginning of the quarter, the inspection coordinator should notify

each department manager of the inspection zones for which he/she is

responsible by publishing a schedule matrix. This schedule should indicate

the inspector, zone, and type of inspection for each week of the quarter.

An example facility inspection quarterly schedule is illustrated in
