Proposed Location of Equipment
Using the completed sketch on the Site Planning Worksheet, complete an Equipment Location
Worksheet (ANNEX B) to show the location and size of each piece of equipment in the work area
(Figure 5). Include all other hard good items in the room (e.g. work tables, storage cabinets, etc.),
as this will help to assess the work flow.
After placing the 3M
™
Steri-Vac
™
Sterilizer/Aerator GS Series and any accessory equipment on the
Equipment Location Worksheet, indicate on the Worksheet any additional services required for the new
equipment. Provide the worksheets and service requirements to any contractors (electrical, ventilation,
plumbing, and structural) involved with the project.
