Tales from the papermill: In the late 90's at IP Savannah they had a shared stock system that ran between PM4,5,6. The piping ran over the head boxes (who knows why??). The pipe rusted thru one day and blew out a hole the size of my thigh. Stock and water rained down on the fourdrinnier table of PM5. If that wasn't bad enough, the headbox control system was in a 6" square wire trough that ran the width of the machine. The lid for it had previously had a roll dropped on it so it never closed correctly. That flood of water filled the trough up with stock and water. So all my guys on site are on the cat walk over the table mucking out this trough to repair the headbox control circuitboards. Meanwhile one of my guys was off to the side sitting in the bottom of a cabinet with his legs crossed indian style as he worked. Someone on PM4 turned on the transfer pump because it hadn't been locked out and flooded us all over again... except now the trough was open. We all got soaked and especially the guy sitting in that cabinet... his legs had gone to sleep and he couldn't stand up so he just had to sit there and take the deluge.

1)keep your shit in order. It would not have been so troublesome if the trough doors had not been damanged and sealed properly.
2)isolate all sources of energy when you lock out equipment.
