By Manual Review, when the project is completed BEFORE the first monitoring pass? By Automated Program on your desktop computer when the project is completed? By Automated Program in the handheld before the Tech documents # 130? When the EPA finds tag 125 and asks for the monitoring records?

LDAR Rule of Thumb # 36: When your technicians have been trained to ignore one of the most important things in your LDAR program, THAT just became the most important thing in your LDAR program.

15
The Right Names A nearby component that is not in the Tech’s handheld.
A gap in the sequential numbering scheme of a new database. The height above the ground that a component is. Components Tech B has to monitor after Tech A has “failed” to monitor it. A component that is out of service. A complex component that some tech might not know how to monitor. The size (in sqft) of the area that a tech has to cover to complete a day’s route. The highly reliable avg GPS coordinate of an identifiable cluster of components. The components that will be monitored based on some % of the population. The 2nd month of monitoring on a component that has to pass two month’s monitoring before going to quarterly frequency. The leak on a component that occurs at a higher leak definition after it was repaired and remonitored because of a leak at a lower leak definition. The date a new valve was installed at a component site that has been in the program for many years. A comp that has been bypassed but has or hasn’t been isolated and/or purged.

Why not Tag 17? Ran out of time Barricaded- Safety Equipment Failure
Ongoing Maintenance Could not locate Out of Service Didn’t want to climb Dismantled Too much trouble TOS Too dirty OOS Didn’t have proper PPE POS Iced-over Deleted Insulated Actually a DTM Welded Didn't know how

“Out of Service” Component should be considered InActive in the Database because it has been removed permanently from VOC service. Component is still active in the database but is Temporarily Unavailable to be monitored. or
