  • Identifies required PMs from OEM Manuals, design codes and standards, and the facility’s maintenance experience. 
  • Coordinates with the facility’s planners to ensure PMs are scheduled and completed on a timely basis.
  • Maintains Mechanical Integrity around safety-critical equipment such as ammonia detection, alarms, emergency response equipment, etc.
• Reviews B&R Operator Logs and trending on refrigeration system computer systems frequently to understand “real-time” operational issues with respect to covered process equipment or elements of the PSM / RMP program.
• Actively participates as a Lamb Weston representative for regulatory influencing bodies such as IIAR, IRC, RETA, OSHA, EPA, etc.
• Becomes a subject matter expert on food plant utility systems and their associated local, state and federal regulatory codes.
• Actively participates in PSM / RMP related incident investigations and corrective and preventive action development at the facility.   Tracks-to-close all corrective and preventative actions resulting from these Incident Investigations.
• In conjunction with the facility’s Safety Manager:
  • Identifies facility escape routes and assembly points with consideration to “population centers” and covered process equipment for the facility’s Emergency Action and Response Plane (EARP).
  • Identifies facility response level, for different emergency scenarios, and ensures all response actions required in the event of a release of covered process chemical(s) are adequately outlined in the EARP. 
  • Ensures equipment required to stop or mitigate a release of the covered process chemical(s) is adequate and is being maintained as required by statute. 
  • Ensures the facility’s emergency responders are adequately trained (HAZWOPER), undergo required physical exams, and that these are well documented. 
• Participates in the facility’s Compliance Audits.  Manages and tracks-to-close all recommendations resulting from these audits and reports out on-time vs. overdue results.
