RE: HP Response to phone calls

[GEORGE CICOTTE <GEORGE_CICOTTE@health.ohio.gov>]

     Mr. COUILLARD asks "what drives the response" for postings, work group 
     procedures, etc., involving the concept of "CONTACT HP PRIOR TO ENTRY"
     
     IMHO, it's worth posting.  My experience, having been to about a third 
     of the power plants in the US and several US Department of Energy 
     facilities, is that this is generally handled one of two ways:
     
     1.  If it is a formal sign-off on the procedure, an HPT signs it to 
     indicate they've been informed.
     2.  If it is a posting or just a warning on a work permit, when the 
     workers call HP, it goes into the HP's working log, e.g., "I&C 
     indicated start of Integrated Leak Rate Test."
     
     Remember this is just an anecdotal generalization.  If you don't do it 
     that way, please refute, but don't flame.
