Chapter 4:Operating and Maintaining Moisture-Controlled
Environments
Each section is concerned with regular inspection; the
cleaning, lubrication, repair or replacement that may
result from the inspection; and the documenting of
inspections and responses. Several of these sections
require the development of specific operation and
maintenance plans. The section-specific plans can be
assembled into a master moisture-control plan.
