What Is Preventive Maintenance?

Preventive maintenance is the process of taking necessary precautions to prevent hazardous situations such as accidents or equipment errors from happening. The goal of preventive maintenance is to reduce the chances of accidents and hazards occurring that could greatly interrupt the operations of your business. This will also help your employees be more comfortable that they are working in safe conditions.

How to Make a Preventive Maintenance Checklist

Preventive maintenance for tools and equipment depends on your workplace, but most of these places have machines, facilities, and network technology to aid in daily operations. So, the checklist guide below will focus on those aspects. This guide can help make your business operations to be more efficient and safer. If you need to write a preventive maintenance checklist that is not present below, you can use the guide below as your starting point:

Preventive Maintenance for the Building

  • Safety and caution areas should be marked.
  • Corridors, aisles, stairways, walkways, entrances, and exits must be clear of any obstructions. These spaces should be cleaned regularly.
  • Wires must be placed securely to avoid hazards. Repair wires if they are damaged.
  • Stairway railings must be checked always to ensure there are no damages to them.
  • Structural elements of the building must be inspected to avoid damage that could harm the business, people, or equipment inside it.
  • Check and repair the electrical and plumbing systems of the building at least once a year.
  • Make sure your fire safety plan is in compliance with regulations from the government. Check your fire detectors regularly to see if they’re still working.
  • Examine your parking spaces to make sure they are safe spaces
  • Check the ceilings and roof for leaks or damage at least once a year.

Preventive Maintenance for Network Systems

  • Assess your network security and identify threats that could harm your data. Change your network passwords from time to time.
  • Remind employees to comply with cyber safety practices. Train them on how to avoid getting victimized by hacking or scamming from the internet.

Preventive Maintenance for Machines

  • Tools must be inspected regularly. They should all be functional. If they are worn or damaged, replace them.
  • Machinery must be clear of debris and should be properly cleaned every day, especially the equipment that is in direct contact with materials frequently.
  • A routine check of all machinery fluid levels and air filters. Replace them as needed.

Make sure to understand all aspects that need to go through preventive maintenance. Evaluate all your inventory; check if their performance is still efficient, know if the equipment and tools are quality products, study the specifications of all the machines used in the offices, and familiarize yourself with how to maintain them.

FAQs
