Occasions during which a process orpart of a process is taken off stream, or in whichpressure, heat, or other factor(s) in the processare decreased or removed for purposes ofmaintenance or other necessary action. Anoutage does not include a turnaround, whichtypically involves concerted planning well inOutage. Any occasion, including scheduledturnarounds, during which a process or part of aprocess is taken off stream. Outages also includethe reduction of temperatures and/or pressureswithin equipment, and total or partial shutdowns ofa process to:(a) Perform maintenance;51. “Must” has replaced “shall”in DOSH rule language.1. Turnarounds have beenincorporated into this term,which encompasses anyprocess outage.
