6.2.11 Standby Equipment
Equipment that is in standby (not in regular operation) should be kept lubricated to prevent corrosion and keep it ready
for start up or use. The frequency is dependent on site conditions and is a matter of judgement by operating
management.
SECTION III - PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
6-3 Preventative Maintenance Practices
Preventative maintenance is regularly scheduled work intended to prevent wear and tear and discover faults or problems
before they become serious. The lubrication discussed in Section II is a form of preventative maintenance and is often
handled in conjunction with the preventative maintenance program. Inspection is a major and most important part of
preventative maintenance. Keeping equipment clean is a form of preventative maintenance. Specific actions described

When faults in equipment are found that are beyond the scope of preventative maintenance
personnel, be sure to report such faults immediately so that corrective action can be taken.
