Maintenance is the cornerstone of asset sustainability. An effective preventive maintenance program, combined with good operational practices, will reduce the need for much corrective and emergency maintenance, as well as total operating cost. A good preventive maintenance program will service not only mechanical and electrical equipment, but also the infrastructure and utility systems required to support the production process.

Workplace Safety Policies

Each business should have a safety policy in place, created either by management or in a joint effort between management and staff. Every employee has a role in carrying out the safety policies. A safety handbook should be created identifying safety issues and spelling out consequences of not following the appropriate safety procedures.
