If you find that a tool is defective and that you are not qualified or assigned to repair it, follow this procedure.
Obtain a defective OUT OF SERVICE tag from the foreman's office. Set the defective tool aside by the Foreman office on the table designated for damaged tools. Do not return the tool back into the tool crib or the supply room or even your toolbox. An accident may occur if other people attempt to use a damaged tool. Alert the shift foreman that the item is damaged.
- Fill out the defective OUT OF SERVICE tag. Wire the tag to the equipment around the shut off button.
- Foreman will log the OUT OF SERVICE Tag into the maintenance records. And the tool will be repaired or replaced
- If repaired the Foreman will have the repair made and the tool returned back to production minus the out of service tag.
