(2) Install devices to continuously measure/monitor material levels in the furnace (i.e., stockline), at a minimum of three locations, with alarms to inform operators of static (i.e., not moving) stockline conditions which increase the likelihood of slips; and

(3) Install and use instruments on the furnace to monitor temperature and pressure to help determine when a slip is likely to occur.
