for its original purpose, regardless of the reasons for its condition.
UNIT SUPPLY ROOM
PROCEDURES (STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE)

measures are adequate include safety provisions, security against theft, and
protection against weather damage.
Also considered will be certain items
that require special storage procedures.
