Tell someone or document it before you close it up.

Insulation blocks damper/access door

Insulate around access - never over it. Keep damper doors, access panels, handles, labels, and actuators visible and usable after the wrap is finished.

Watch out

Do not bury damper access, labels, handles, or test points under wrap.

Check

Find every access point before the wrap starts.
Cut insulation cleanly around the opening instead of burying it.
Verify the panel/door still opens after insulation thickness is added.
Mark any access issue before ceiling close.

Steps
