EXAMPLE: Section 2 Para 2.1.3 Frequency of Inspection Critical Load Inspection. Critical loads may be
experienced; for example, severe loads, impact loads such as jarring, pulling on stuck pipe, and/or
operating at low temperatures. If in the judgment of the supervisor a critical load has occurred, or may
occur, an on-the-job shutdown inspection equivalent to the periodic field inspection should be done. If
critical loads are anticipated, the inspection should be conducted prior to and after the occurrence of
such loading. If critical loads are unexpectantly encountered, inspection should be conducted
immediately after such an occurrence.
