Scheduling of shutdown work
• On, or before December 17, provide information to your coordinator if you are planning to work between December 21 and January 2. Need location and point of contact.
• If any work requires technical support for LOTO or 3rd rail tagging from O43, PLAN AHEAD. We have a lot of work that will occur during shutdown. We do not want to slow 043 work by emergent LOTO issues.
