MECHANICAL INTEGRITY
Revision History
Purpose
The purpose of this mechanical integrity program is to ensure that the handling and storage of
regulated chemicals and associated safety systems are maintained properly. This program is
geared towards preventing an accidental release of a chemical and minimizing the consequences
if a release does occur. The emphasis of this program is on preventive and predictive
maintenance rather than breakdown maintenance.
This document summarizes how Inland Star Distribution Centers, Inc. complies with the mechanical
integrity requirements for the storage of hazardous chemicals.
Responsibilities
• Ensuring there are written procedures to maintain the equipment and associated safety
systems.
• Ensuring the routine maintenance inspections are completed.
• Responding to all employee observations and notifications concerning faulty
containers/storage in a timely manner.
Training Program
There is no maintenance required for the storage of hazardous chemical storage containers.
However, Associates periodically evaluate all areas of the warehouse via walkthroughs noting
any package/storage failures. Refer to the Training section of this PSM/CalARP Program for
information on the training provided to the Associates.
When a deficiency is discovered, a record describing the deficiency and the measures taken to
correct the deficiency is documented on the “RECEIVED Damage/WHSE Damage” form.
