Deploy this template before starting up new oil and gas facilities, modifications, or systems after turnarounds.
This template produces a documented go/no-go assessment verifying readiness across seven critical startup domains.
Teams often rush authorization without closing safety-critical gaps, creating catastrophic startup risk per OSHA PSM.
