Apt Maintenance Practices Bring About Increased Health And Safety

Maintenance workers are frequently exposed to hazards during work, whether physical, biological, chemical, or ergonomic. Implementation of the right security and safety measures in the post-pandemic world is the priority. As a maintenance head, it is your responsibility to ensure social distancing, thorough cleanliness of the equipment and the work area, and promotion of a safe and secure culture at the workplace.

A Set Procedure In Place Brings Thoroughness To The Work

Four experienced mechanics at a facility were asked about the predictive maintenance performed on an asset. Each one talked about a task (crucial to the operation) which the other three didn’t know about. The difference in thinking of each was appalling. 

The need for a documented set procedure in place is clear as night and day. The procedure brings order and consistency to the process. It offers a detailed record of the equipment’s history, meaning you can be confident about the work done on the assets and at what frequency. This, in turn, helps identify the cause of failure. The equipment history can be stored in a repository as a standard of measurement for outages in the future.

Increase Machine Efficiency And Life Expectancy

Good maintenance practices help you maintain functionality, avail quality FM service, and minimize breakdowns of the assets. So, how do you achieve that? 

Have a detailed asset maintenance plan in place. Start with a working inventory list. Next, plan the replacement schedules in detail with the help of facility management software that notifies the workforce when scheduled maintenance is about to take place and then decide on the budget. 


Choose an FM provider that provides a reliable AND energy-centric model. When you have a reliability and energy-centric asset maintenance model in place, you increase the efficiency of the asset and its life expectancy. Additionally, the maintenance model reduces operational and safety risks and helps you achieve environmentally sustainable goals.

Don’t do maintenance for the sake of it. Partner with an FM provider that knows the inside out of your industry and implements right maintenance practices to ensure optimal performance of your assets, ensuring your organization meets its goals! Choose VAR.
