−
 
 
−
* New tools will be assessed - an inspection process established and documented
 
−
* tool calibration (not just H&S but good operation and avoiding damage)
 
−
* damaged tools will be withdrawn from use (inspection failure)
 
−
** nice idea: http://gdkonstantine.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/project-lockout/
