1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
Section 3
This guide is intended to provide a means for owner/operators to have an awareness
of the way business is actually being conducted on the shop floor. Also, this guide is
intended to provide a means for maintenance managers to impart their expectations to
craftspersons as to how maintenance should be conducted. It is expected that each
DOE facility may use different approaches or methods than those defined in this guide.
Explanation of the intent of this guide is provided in the Discussion section, and the
specific guidelines that follow reflect generally accepted industry practices. In some
cases, example situations accompany these guidelines. These examples have been
provided only as an aid in clear understanding of the guidelines and should not be
construed as the only method for meeting the intent of the guidelines. Therefore,
deviation from any particular guideline would not, in itself, indicate a problem. If
substantive differences exist between the intent of the Guideline and actual practice,
management should evaluate current practice to determine the need to include/exclude
proposed features. A change to maintenance practice would be appropriate if a
performance weakness was determined to exist. Development, documentation, and
implementation of other features which further enhance these guidelines for specific
applications, is encouraged.
This guide describes key features of programs that support maintenance facility
inspection. The implementation of this program should accomplish the following:
a) documentation of materiel conditions in a consistent manner
b) materiel deficiencies may be effectively identified for corrective actions
c) support continued safe, reliable, and efficient facility maintenance operations
This guide also assigns responsibility to all facility personnel to be alert for and
identify materiel deficiencies. Further, it describes the method by which these
deficiencies are clearly marked and translated to the work control system. This
deficiency identification system serves the following functions:
a) to notify other facility personnel that a deficiency has been identified and that the
necessary documentation has been submitted to initiate corrective action
b) to alert operational personnel to inaccuracies in facility instrumentation or degraded
conditions of facility equipment and components
c) to enhance facility status monitoring, maintenance planning, and facility materiel
condition

DOE-STD-1072-94
d) to eliminate multiple submissions of maintenance job requests on the same deficiency
Additional information pertinent to the implementation of this guideline may be
found in the following Guidelines:
1) DOE-NE-STD-1003-91, “Guidelines to Good Practice for Training and Qualification
of Maintenance Personnel”
2) DOE-STD-1050-93, “Guidelines to Good Practices for Planning, Scheduling, and
Coordination of Maintenance Activities at DOE Nuclear Facilities”
3) DOE-STD-1055-93, “Guidelines to Good Practices for Management Involvement at
DOE Nuclear Facilities”
Appendix A is provided for use by facility trainers who provide training regarding
this element.
1.2 Background
The information in this guide was developed from commercial and DOE sources.
Each facility should select those details that are applicable, add any unlisted knowledge
or experience that are applicable, and develop and implement facility-specific
maintenance management programs. Facilities that have existing maintenance facility
inspection programs should review this guide to identify details that may enhance their
existing programs.
Section 4
1.3 Application
The content of this guide is generally applicable to all DOE nuclear facilities.
Portions of the programs outlined may not be applicable to all facilities because
maintenance organizations, disciplines, titles, and responsibilities may vary among DOE
nuclear facilities. Facility maintenance personnel may verify the adequacy or improve
existing maintenance facility inspection programs by adapting this guide to their specific
facility and individual maintenance disciplines.

2. DEFINITIONS
Acronyms used in this standard. The acronyms
as follows:
used in this standard are defined
a. HVAC - Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning
b. M&TE - Measuring and Test Equipment
c. MJR - Maintenance Job Request
d. MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheets
Corrective Action. The action required to bring a deficient item into conformity
with a standard. For materiel deficiencies requiring maintenance action, the
corrective action may consist of identifying the deficiencies, submitting a
maintenance job request for corrective activities, and tracking the deficiency.
Deficiencies should be reported in accordance with applicable policies and
procedures.
Deficiency. An item that does not meet specified standards and requires corrective
action.
Deficiency Identification Sticker. (Appendix B) A small, adhesive-backed form
which may be used primarily to identify deficiencies in those situations that
preclude the use of a Deficiency Identification Tag. The sticker should also be
marked with a serialized number. A duplicate should not be required since most
stickers are used in control rooms where the deficiency information may easily be
directly placed on a maintenance job request.
Deficiency Identification Tag. (Appendix B) A two-part form that includes a string
for ease of attachment and may be used to identify a facility materiel deficiency.
The tag should be marked with a serialized number that is used for administrative
control and for deficiency location by maintenance personnel. The hard copy of
the tag should be placed on or near the deficiency in the facility. The duplicate or
carbon of the tag serves as a temporary record of the deficiency until the data is
transferred to a maintenance job request.
Housekeeping. The cleaning and preservation of the facility, its systems and
components. Also used to refer to the condition of facility cleanliness, orderliness,
and preservation. Examples of housekeeping deficiencies are listed in Appendix C.
Industrial Safety Program. The overall program designed to minimize work-related
injuries and illnesses through the identification, assessment, and correction of
3

unsafe work practices and conditions. Examples of industrial safety deficiencies
are listed in Appendix D.
Inspection Coordinator. A designated member of facility staff who is responsible
for the overall coordination of inspection activities.
Inspection Zone. A physical area of the facility that is identified for inspection
purposes.
Section 5
Maintenance Job Request (MJR). Means of obtaining maintenance services,
available on both paper and electronic mediums and initiated by maintenance
customers. An MJR is normally issued to Maintenance Planners and Estimators
and is used to define, plan, and execute maintenance activities. It serves as
documentation of a deficient equipment condition and requires detailed
documentation of work performed, spare parts, procedures, or testing to verify that
maintenance was performed correctly. The MJR may also serve as documentation
for completion of minor maintenance activities such as lubrication, light-bulb
replacement, etc. “MJR” is the equivalent of a “Work Request.” (see DOE-STD-
1050-93, “Guidelines to Good Practices jor Planning, Scheduling and Coordination of
Maintenance Activities at DOE Nuclear Facilities”)
Materiel Deficiency. An installed system or component with a physical defect that
does not conform to specified standards. Examples of materiel condition
deficiencies are provided in Appendix E.
Radiological Protection Deficiency. A condition that if allowed to exist may result
in the contamination of personnel and areas, unnecessary radiation exposure, and
generation of excessive radiological waste. Examples of radiation protection
deficiencies are provided in Appendix F.

3. FACILITY INSPECTION PROGRAM
3.1 DISCUSSION
The objectives of a facility inspection program are (1) to provide a means for
owner/operators to have an awareness of the way business is actually being conducted
on the shop floor and (2) to provide a means for maintenance managers to impart their
expectations to craftspersons as to how maintenance should be conducted.
Key indicators of a well-maintained and operated facility are the appearance and
proper functioning of facilities, systems, and equipment.
Daily observation of conditions should be performed at local job sites by the
owner/operator. However, all facility personnel should be encouraged to be active
observers during the normal course of daily duties. Good materiel condition,
cleanliness, and housekeeping are established and maintained by a knowledgeable work
force alert to deficiencies in their work areas and who inform responsible managers for
prompt corrective actions.
Effective implementation of this program ensures that facility materiel condition,
industrial safety practices, housekeeping, and radiological protection practices conform
to managementís standards.
This program should also be used as a feedback and communication tool. Many
management studies show that worker morale and motivation improve when
management demonstrates interest in their activities. These inspections provide a good
opportunity for positive and constructive feedback. Additionally, the facility inspection
program may be a beneficial tool when used to recognize the performance of individuals
or groups that have made positive efforts in improving the facility materiel condition.
A facility inspection program should include the following key elements:
a systematic approach that ensures information is gathered throughout the facility.
Ideally, the program should ensure that each area of the facility is inspected by a
manager/supervisor on a periodic basis.
a focal point to evaluate the gathered information, identify recurring problems,
and develop corrective action plans
conscientious management involvement in specifying corrective action and
assigning responsibility for implementation
Section 6
a means to follow up on the program to measure its effectiveness
DOE-STD-1072-94
Additionally, this inspection program may be used in conjunction with a program that
assigns individuals to specific areas of the facility for overall accountability of the
condition of that area.
An example of a program that addresses these elements has been attached for your
consideration.
3.2 SCOPE
This guideline provides information to develop a facility materiel inspection program.
The program addresses the following:
3.2.1 materiel condition and documentation
3.2.2 industrial safety
3.2.3 housekeeping practices
3.2.4 radiological protection practices
3.2.5 opened system and component protection
3.2.6 reporting and follow-up
3.3 RESPONSIBILITIES
3.3.1 Owner/Operator
Owner/Operators are responsible for the effectiveness of this program. They
should ensure that responsible managers and supervisors understand and support
established standards. Also, they should designate an inspection coordinator to
assist in administering this program.
3.3.2 Inspection Coordinator
The inspection coordinator should perform the following:
a) divide the facility into inspection zones
b) assign inspection zones and inspection categories to responsible managers and
supervisors
c) establish inspection schedules
6
3.3.3
DOE-STD-1072-94
d) receive inspection reports, assign follow-up action responsibility if required,
and forward copies to the affected manager(s) for corrective action
e) submit reports to the owner/operator as required in paragraph 3.4.6.5
Responsible Managers
Responsible managers are accountable for the implementation of this guideline.
Each manager or designated representative should perform the following:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
ensure that all personnel are familiar with established standards and criteria
conduct inspections of their assigned inspection zones as scheduled
assign corrective action accountability, and submit inspection reports to the
inspection coordinator as described in paragraph 3.4.6.1
ensure timely correction and follow-up of deficiencies falling under their
jurisdiction
monitor facility materiel conditions to ensure that materiel deficiencies are
identified for corrective action in accordance with this guideline.
3.3.4 Facility Personnel
All facility personnel are responsible for the prompt identification and
documentation of materiel deficiencies in accordance with this guideline.
7
3.4.1
DOE-STD-1072-94
3.4 FACILITY INSPECTION GUIDELINES
Inspection Zones
The following process applies to inspection zones:
3.4.1.1
3.4.1.2
3.4.1.3
The facility should be divided into inspection zones. Inspection zones
should be numbered for identification.
Inspection zones should be assigned to department managers by job title
(e.g., zone 1 assigned to the maintenance administration manager).
Periodically, each inspection zone should be assigned to a different
department manager. This should help ensure consistency throughout
facility.
3.4.2 Scheduling
The following process applies to scheduling:
3.4.2.1
3.4.2.2
3.4.2.3
the
A schedule should be established that ensures each inspection zone is
inspected approximately every two weeks.
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.
Section 7
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
Attachment E.
8
DOE-STD-1072-94
3.4.3 Types of inspections
The following process applies to types of inspection:
3.4.3.1 Inspections should be separated into general categories and identified as
follows:
a) material condition (M)
b) industrial safety (S)
c) cleanliness/housekeeping (H)
d) radiological protection/control (R)
3.4.3.2 Each inspection should concentrate on one general category. This should
allow an in-depth look at one specific aspect of facility performance.
However, other deficiencies should not be overlooked.
3.4.3.3 All applicable general categories should be completed for each inspection
zone by the end of each calendar quarter.
3.4.4 Conduct of Inspections
The following process applies to the conduct of the inspection:
3.4.4.1 Each department manager or his/her designated representative should
conduct an inspection of his/her assigned inspection zone during the week
scheduled. The inspection may be conducted as one evolution, or as a
series of smaller inspections during the week.
3.4.4.2 Each inspection should include detailed walk-downs of the inspection zone.
Key areas to consider are out-of-the-way and limited-access areas. The
inspection should not only identify deficiencies; it should also identify those
things that are being done to improve facility conditions. In this manner,
the program serves as a positive feedback mechanism.
3.4.4.3 Subordinates should be included on inspections-periodically. This should
provide a method to teach inspection techniques and convey high standards.
9
DOE-STD-1072-94
3.4.4.4 The owner/operator should accompany each department manager
periodically to ensure his/her (owner/operator’s) standards are adequately
understood by other department managers.
3.4.5 Inspection Techniques
3.4.5.1 Observations
While inspections are performed, observe the following:
a) safety practices
b) work habits
c) radiological control practices
d) work site orderliness and protection of open systems/components
3.4.5.2 Inspections
Attachments A through D list many examples of deficiencies for each general
inspection category. Appendix H is an example of an inspection checklist
which may be used. Typically, in-depth inspections include the following
techniques:
a) Bearing housings, motors, and pumps should be touched to check for
excessive heating or vibration.
b) Inspectors should be alert for abnormal sounds or unusual odors.
c) A flashlight should be used throughout the inspection.
d) Deficiencies should be conspicuously tagged and documented during the
inspection to provide accurate description and location information for
each problem. (see Section 3.5 of this Guideline, Facility Materiel
Deficiency Identification )
e) Deficiencies should be referenced to specific maintenance procedures or
requirements.

DOE-STD-1072-94
3.4.6 Reporting and Follow-UP
3.4.6.1 Inspection results should be reported to the inspection coordinator. A
typical inspection report form with a continuation page is illustrated in
Attachment F.
a) The inspection coordinator should provide blank inspection report forms
to inspectors as needed.
Section 8
b) The inspection report should be submitted within three working days
of the inspection.
3.4.6.2 For those deficiencies that the inspector may make on-the-spot corrections,
corrective action should be initiated at the time of the inspection. The
report should note the corrective action that was initiated.
3.4.6.3 The inspection coordinator should forward copies of each inspection report
to appropriate department managers for corrective action. He/she should
maintain the original inspection reports on file for tracking and evaluating
program effectiveness. He/she should periodically review his/her files to
identify repetitive problems and trend progress.
3.4.6.4 Department managers should note on the inspection report the corrective
actions conducted/planned for each deficiency under their responsibility and
return the inspection report to the inspection coordinator to clear
deficiencies on file.
3.4.6.5 The inspection coordinator should keep the owner/operator informed of
program progress. This may be done by written report or by verbal update,
and should include discussions of generic or specific performance
deficiencies, as well as particularly good areas.
DOE-STD-1072-94
3.5 FACILITY MATERIEL DEFICIENCY IDENTIFICATION
3.5.1 An individual noting a facility materiel deficiency should clearly identify the
problem as set forth below.
3.5.1.1 Deficiency Identification Tags (Appendix B) should be uniquely numbered
and coded to facilitate tracking. The tags do not have to be used in
sequential order nor is there to be accountability for blocks of numbered
tags. Enter a description of the deficiency in the “Note” section of the tag.
Multiple deficiencies of a similar nature that are to be included on the same
MJR and that are in close proximity require only one tag, e.g., ten fasteners
missing from a motor control center. The fact that the tag is for multiple
deficiencies should be indicated in the “Note” section of the tag. Entry of
the date is particularly important. The date should be used in conjunction
with the tag number to obtain the MJR number that corresponds to the
identified deficiency (see Section 3.5.2.1).
3.5.1.2 Remove the duplicate portion of the tag and attach the hard copy portion
to the equipment or component, as close as possible to the deficiency. If
the tag was properly completed, the duplicate contains the necessary
information to complete the MJR. The duplicate should be retained until a
MJR is initiated.
a) Where the deficiency is inaccessible due to radiation or physical reasons,
the hard copy of the deficiency tag should be hung in a clearly visible area
as close as possible to the deficiency, i.e., at eye level, directly below a
valve leak in the overhead, or on/near the access door to a high radiation
area.
b) For those situations in which the hanging of a deficiency tag may restrict
the visibility of facility instrumentation or controls, the smaller Deficiency
Identification Sticker (Appendix B) should be used. This situation
generally pertains to deficiencies within the control room or on facility
control panels.
3.5.1.3 Blank Deficiency Identification Tags and Stickers should be kept in the
control rooms and the maintenance shops. The tags and stickers are for
field completion at the time a deficiency is identified without the necessity
to have obtained additional information or MJR numbers. Operations
personnel should be encouraged to carry a supply of tags with them on their
rounds through the facility. Maintenance personnel and engineers should
be encouraged to carry tags with them while working in the facility.
Section 9
12
DOE-STD-1072-94
3.5.2 The individual identifying the deficiency should initiate a MJR. (see DOE-STD-
1050-93, “Guidelines to Good Practices for Planning, Scheduling, and Coordination
of Maintenance Activities at DOE Nuclear Facilities”)
3.5.2.1 The Deficiency Identification Tag or Sticker number should be entered in
the MJR index. Since the date on the deficiency tag is the date of the
MJR, the index provides any necessary cross-reference.
3.5.2.2 The duplicate portion of the Deficiency Identification Tag should be used to
enter key information on the MJR.
a) The tag or sticker serial number, date, and description of deficiency should
be recorded on the MJR.
b) If the Deficiency Identification Tag was not placed in close proximity to
the deficiency, this fact should be noted. Such a notation should assist
maintenance personnel in locating the tag prior to starting work and in
removing the tag upon completion of the work.
c) The duplicate may be affixed to the MJR or discarded. The system now
provides complete traceability from a deficiency, using the tag number and
date, to the MJR index and then to the MJR, which contains the tag or
sticker serial number and a copy of the original tag. The age of a
deficiency may be determined in the field from the date on the tag and the
status of its repair, determined from the work control system.
3.5.3 Maintenance personnel should ensure that deficiency tags and stickers are
removed following the completion of corrective maintenance after the resolved
condition has been functionally verified as satisfactory and complete.
3.5.3.1 The mechanic or technician assigned to the work should locate the
Deficiency Identification Tag or Sticker prior to starting work. If the tag or
sticker cannot be located, the mechanic or technician should verify that they
are at the location of the equipment or component specified by the MJR
before work is started.
3.5.3.2 The mechanic or technician actually performing the work should remove
the tag or sticker when the job is complete. The tag may be destroyed. If
the tag is lost, or cannot be located, the circumstances should be noted on
the original MJR.

initiate the following review to check the use of Deficiency Identification Tags
and Stickers. This review should be a management tool only and should not be
considered a permanent record.
3.5.4.1 A representative sample of pending MJRs should be randomly removed
from the files and the presence of the tag or sticker serial number verified.
3.5.4.2 The fact that the original tag or sticker is in place in the facility should also
be verified for the MJR removed from the files.
3.5.4.3 A representative sample of completed MJRs should be randomly selected
from the work control index and removed from the files. Field locations
should be checked to verify that a deficiency tag is not still in place.

FACILITY CONDITION INSPECTION
LESSON PLAN
1. The instructor should be familiar with the following background information:
Section 10
a. The fundamental indicator of a well-maintained and efficiently operated facility is
the appearance and proper functioning of process systems and equipment. These
conditions are a direct reflection on the standards and attitudes of those who
manage and work within that facility.
b. One successful approach to improve facility
establish a program which includes periodic
corrective actions for identified deficiencies,
correction.
and housekeeping conditions is to
inspections by management,
and follow-ups to ensure deficiency
c. The involvement of facility management personnel in periodic inspections and
walk-downs of operating equipment and spaces accomplishes the following two
important purposes:
● those who have overall responsibility for the facility are provided regular
opportunities to see the condition of their responsibility, and
● management is afforded a direct means to transmit their standards of excellence
to facility personnel.
2. To teach this lesson, the following training housekeeping items are required:
a. Location for the training,
b. Approximately 30 minute time period for the training,
c. Notification of selected employees, and
d. A copy of the facility condition and housekeeping inspection program.
3. This lesson has the following trainee enabling objective:
Explain the purpose of a facility condition and housekeeping program.
A - 2
DOE-STD-1072-94
4. The fundamental indicator of a well-maintained and operated facility is the
appearance and proper functioning of process systems and equipment. These
conditions are a direct reflection on the standards and attitudes of those who manage
and work within that facility. A facility-wide inspection program is an effective
means to identify and correct deficiencies. Considerations for this type of program
include the following:
a. Some programmatic elements to be considered:
● managers should set high standards for housekeeping and the condition of
facility equipment,
● all personnel should have a clear understanding of these standards,
● all managers and supervisors should participate in these inspections,
● inspection areas should be assigned to cover the entire facility, including out-of-
the-way locations, and
● identified deficiencies should be corrected in a timely manner.
b. Some indicators of good facility condition and housekeeping standards are as
follows:
● equipment is properly lubricated and has the appropriate preventive
maintenance performed,
● equipment operating temperatures and vibration levels are within design limits,
● fluid system leaks are minimized or are properly contained,
● instruments and gages are indicating correctly and are on a periodic calibration
program,
● electrical equipment doors and closures are installed to maintain proper design
integrity,
● equipment and systems are preserved to minimize corrosion,
● industrial safety and radiological hazards are controlled and minimized,
● walkways and equipment access are clear and easily recognizable,
● equipment is clean and free of debris,
A - 3
DOE-STD-1072-94
● no evidence of improper housekeeping following completion of maintenance
work activities, such as tools and materials left in various areas of the facility,
● unauthorized modifications do not exist, and
● facility lighting is maintained at a level to support operations and maintenance.
Section 11
c. In addition to an inspection program, all site personnel should be responsible for
the prompt identification, correction, or documentation of facility condition and
housekeeping deficiencies during the normal course of their duties.
5. Discuss with the trainees the facility’s materiel condition and housekeeping program.
