Temporary Covers or Debris Remain Before the Store Reopens
Stop startup or reopening until temporary caps, plastic, cardboard, rags, shipping material, cookies, screws, swarf, and construction debris are accounted for and removed from the affected duct and work area.
We are scheduled to reopen this area tonight. I found temporary plastic and cutting debris in two open branches and have not verified the rest of the run. Do you want startup held until we complete the internal check?
Watch out
Do not assume airflow will blow temporary material out safely or that another trade will remove it later.
Check
Walk every opened or modified section and check both sides of field cuts.
Verify temporary covers are removed only where the system is ready to close.
Inspect accessible dampers, equipment connections, boots, and low points for debris.
Record who owns final startup and reopening verification.
