Check availability of supplies

See Consumable Supplies (in appendix B).

2.2 Before Starting (on Arrival at the Site)
Check applicable notifications and
operation instructions

Refer to “Applicable notification list” (ITL) to check whether
notifications are to be applied during the operation
Refer to “Applicable operation instruction list” (IO) to check
whether operation instructions are to be applied during the
operation

Check that the safety instructions have
been applied

Refer to “General Wiring Handbook” to check that the
safety precautions have been taken in accordance with
the safety instructions

Read instructions in the event of anomaly
