At the time the "BEEP" inspection is conducted, all discrepancies, including rust, body damage, and paint requirements, are written on the Equipment Repair Order. The repairs needed during the "BEEP" vary with each situation. As a rule, all needed safety repairs will be corrected and repairs of less than 4 hours time
