 | Milestone reached at workI turned in my two documents for the twin lyophilizers a day ago. The documents are lockout/tagout documents, which are procedures for safely shutting down equipment and applying locks to it so that people can work on it safely without somebody starting up the motors or reconnecting power. Each document was 82 steps long. But late yesterday afternoon the project lead gave them the thumbs up, and I carried them around today to start the sign-off process. |
| Carrying a document around for sign-off means that over the next month you’ll be getting it back and revising it as the different department experts point out changes that need to be made. But getting it through my own department was a major accomplishment. I have the most complex system of the new writers. But I think I’m the first one to get out the gate and start getting approvals. Now it’s time to work on PMs (Preventive Maintenance procedures) for the same machines. Today I went into the new building and sketched pipe connectors. |  |
