With a shutdown, the contracting professional needs to know who to call
There are normally certain workers that are dealing with shutdowns and turnarounds situations. And your contractor needs to know who to call immediately after a shutdown.
The sooner the right people are at the facility, the sooner the turnaround can start. To ensure that everything is getting back to production as soon as possible. You will need to give a list of people the nominated contractor needs to call and make sure that he knows the importance of calling right away.
They need to know your facility to know where to shut down and turnaround the business successfully
Not only does a contracting entity needs to know everything about the facility he is working at. But he also needs to make sure that he knows where everything is at the facility. You can’t let him work alone, without knowing where everything is.
Especially, when it comes to an emergency shutdown and turnaround. He needs to know exactly where to go, who to call, and what to do so that the facility can get back to normal again. If he doesn’t know the facility, he will not know where to go to inspect the shutdown.
The contracting company needs to know the plan of action with an unplanned shutdown
Every facility that works with shutdowns and turnarounds have a plan of action when there is an unplanned shutdown and the facility needs to get back to normal as soon as possible.
If this happens, the contractor needs to know the exact plan of action. This is so that he can start the facility again, without causing harm to the machinery or to put everyone at work at risk. There are some facilities where restarting it after a shut down isn’t as easy as switching it on again. This can cause a danger to people around them. This is why you need to make sure that your contractor knows the facility’s plan of action when it comes to an unplanned shutdown.
