We always get the answer…”We do not have any temporary operations,” so that does not apply to us. A good auditor will educate the site personnel by taking them out to the field and finding a bypass around a control device. Then, we will ask for the “procedure” that is used when the bypass is open and the control device is “temporarily” out of service. If you do not have any by-passes in place for maintenance and testing, then you may not have any “temporary operations”, but if you do use these by-passes, they are by-passing a critical control device or safeguard, then we need operating procedures to handle these temporary operations in a safe manner.
