3. Section 3: System Isolation, Depressurization & LOTO Checklist

CRITICAL SAFETY SECTION - Verify each isolation and depressurization step before proceeding. Any 'No' response requires immediate stop-work evaluation and corrective action. All verifications must be independently confirmed by a second qualified individual.


1.0 - System one-line diagram reviewed and isolation boundaries marked?


2.0 - All upstream and downstream isolation valves closed, locked, and tagged?


3.0 - Motor-operated valve power supplies disconnected and LOTO applied at MCC?


4.0 - Pneumatic/hydraulic actuator supplies isolated and bled down?


5.0 - System pressure verified at zero psig on at least two independent gauges?


6.0 - All system drain valves opened and verified flowing to waste collection?


7.0 - Temperature verified below 120°F (49°C) before breaking containment?


8.0 - Blind flanges installed at all identified break points?


9.0 - Containment isolation valves verified closed on both primary and backup systems?


10.0 - LOTO verification walkdown completed by independent verifier?


List all LOTO tag numbers and corresponding equipment isolated

4. Section 4: Post-Maintenance Hydrostatic Testing Sequence

Execute hydrostatic testing in accordance with ASME Section XI or equivalent code requirements. Record all test parameters and witness all hold periods. Any deviation from specified test pressure or leakage criteria requires immediate stop-work and engineering evaluation.
