 INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-1
Training Facilities and Equipment

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be

able to identify and describe the training facilities and equipment in your
center or school in order to determine its maintenance requirements.

Trainers, as they embark on teaching and learning activities, are also

involved in the maintenance and upkeep of the workshop/classroom and its
surroundings especially in small training centers. They must ensure that
facilities, equipment and tools are adequate, available and in operating
condition. This is premised that a healthy, safe and worry-free working
environment promotes good performance and morale and well-being of the
students and the whole school community.

Training Facilities and Equipment

Training facilities are structures provided for learning purposes.

Training facilities include classrooms, workshops, laboratory, library and
utilities such as lighting, water, drainage and sewage, as required in
carrying out the transfer of knowledge and skills. Training facilities also
cover built structures such as
buildings (single and multi-purpose),
tracks, walkways and plants (fixtures,
infrastructure and superstructure).

Facilities in a traditional training

delivery are very different from a
competency-based training facility
where trainees have to master all the
required competencies of their
training qualification. For this reason,
TESDA has identified the different components of competency-based
training facilities as follows:

1. Practical Work Area – This area is where the trainee acquires the skills
and knowledge components of the competencies prescribed by the
standard.

2. Learning Resource Center - This area is proximate to the heart – the

practical work area. This area provides the trainee with the knowledge
requirements in the various modules responding to the competencies. It is
a place where projects can be planned and self-paced learning is based.
This area has an array of learning materials in print or soft-copies for a
multimedia environment.

3. Institutional Assessment Area – It is located very proximate to the
practical work area. This is where recognition of prior learning is done
by the trainer. This component also provides the mechanism of
assessing the completion of competencies of a trainee. Upon completion
of all modules within a competency, the trainee is handed a Certificate
of Achievement. This facility is provided with a computer system that
houses and manages trainees’ individual
records.

4. Contextual Learning Laboratory – This facility

ensures that the underpinning knowledge, the
science, mathematics and communication
principles as applied to the technology are
provided to the trainee.

5. Quality Control – Various tests aside from

metrology and calibration are conducted in this
area including in-process quality control. Here, finished products
generated from the training are scrutinized if standards or
requirements are met.

6. Trainers Resource Area – This area houses the learning materials, the
training regulations and curriculum exemplars. This is also the place
where instructors produce courseware or training materials.

7. Distance Learning Area – One major issue of TVET is accessibility.

This is the major objective of this component – enhance accessibility of
TVET. This is to enable the learning provision outside and away from
the training institution in the term of print and non-print media. At
present, this is implemented in selected qualifications and training
centers with Internet connections.

8. Computer Laboratory – This area depicts the

major physical change in the delivery – the use
of Information technology. This laboratory has
an array of computer units where trainee are
provided to learn and gain appropriate IT
competencies that may include Word, Excel
even Desktop Publishing as may be prescribed
in the competency standard and curriculum.
Computer units are in a LAN environment
hooked to an ISP for Internet access.

Attributes of Training Facilities

A training facility for adult must have flexible and technologically

advanced environment that are safe, healthy, comfortable, aesthetically
pleasing, and accessible. It must be able to accommodate the specific space
and equipment needs that allow students to carry out
some functions or activities during their training
sessions.

Training facilities and equipment have different

attributes. The size and structure of these areas are of
different standards particularly those of workshops or
practical work areas. Among the considerations are the
size of equipment and the space required while using
them, the type of activities necessary to perform or
demonstrate the competencies of the qualification, and
the conditions required of the facility such that the
make-up of floor or ceiling maybe distinct from one
qualification to another. The reference, of course, is
the training regulation of the course/qualification.

It is typical, for the floor of a commercial cooking

area to be tiled and provided with drainage for easy
cleaning and drying (for safety as well as hygiene and
sanitation purposes). Those in the construction
courses are commonly with plain cement or unfinished
floors. Welding workshops on the other hand, are
normally equipped with ventilation/exhaust facilities to
minimize the heat brought about by the operation of
motor engine and other machines as well as to
eliminate fumes that are destructive to health and for
safety. Other courses need amenities in its work
environment such as in Housekeeping, Health Care
Services and Beauty Care.

Likewise, many courses are dependent on the electrical power such as

in Computer Hardware Servicing, Mechatronics, and Welding while
others require the steady supply of water and provision of adequate drainage
such as in Plumbing and Commercial Cooking. Hence, the maintenance of
electrical, water, drainage, and ventilation systems is of great importance to
ensure continuity of training and effect quality learning environment.

Training Equipment and Supplies

Training equipment is usually placed in the practical work area or the

trainee resource area. The sizes and uses of equipment vary in the different
training qualifications and generally classified into five (5):

machines
2. small items of equipment – video/tape recorder, espresso machine
3. simple equipment – electric fan, floor polisher
4. complex equipment – plasma cutting machine, simulator
(automotive)
5. equipment with significant health and safety implications –
duplicator machine

In order to identify and plan the maintenance

activities and schedule of equipment, it is necessary
for the users and other concerned individuals or
office to know the operation of each equipment or
facility. The Manual from the Manufacturers
(Instruction Manual or User’s Manual) is usually
accompanying the tool, equipment or facility, is
essential in this aspect. Any office/institution may device the standard
operating procedure in using such tool, equipment or facility. The
production of procedural or instructional manual of equipment including
the orientation or training in the operation, handling, storing, and disposal,
is therefore necessary.
It is recommended that the operational procedure of equipment should
be developed based on the manufacturer’s manual, basic and common
knowledge of the equipment, and the established organizational policies,
rules and regulations (see Sample template no.1). The instruction on the
operation must be posted or hung beside or near the equipment.

 INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-2
Importance of Maintenance

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be

able to identify and enumerate the importance of maintenance.

Maintenance is an excellent means of improving the performance and

condition of equipment and facilities. An effective maintenance program
identified problems long before any equipment or facility breaks down or
deteriorate. A good maintenance system presents the early discovery of
problems, thus providing plenty of lead time for effective maintenance
planning. The trainer has to value the importance of maintaining the
training facilities, equipment and tools he is using or under his care if he
values the presence and availability of these resources for effective training
and learning processes.

The Growth of Interest in Maintenance

The factors contributing to the rapidly growing interest in

maintenance are:

1. Technological development
This trend leads to a more mechanized and automated
equipment, resulting in great productive potential which must be
kept working. This means that training facilities are becoming
more complicated and required more advanced maintenance.

2. Increasingly expensive raw materials

Finite raw materials, in combination with a growing
population and increasing assumption, inevitably result in higher
raw material prices. Unavoidably, the costs of all by-products
must rise. It is therefore often more profitable to maintain existing
equipment than purchase new ones.

3. Greater complication
A complicated facility of piece of equipment includes many
components, any or all of which can constitute possible sources of
trouble. Although the operational reliability of each individual
component may be very high, it is necessary to multiply reliability
factor of all components that are dependent on each other in a
system in order to arrive at the total system reliability.

4. Increased fixed costs

Capital costs constitute a considerable part of the total costs
of training and must be covered by the added value created. If
training stops as a result of inadequate maintenance, capital costs

 (depreciation) must still be paid, so that the standstill results in a
net loss. Still, the salaries and overhead expenses must be paid
while training is stopped.

5. Reduce delayed activities and eradicate uncompleted work

Many work processes depend on an uninterrupted flow of
activities to produce desired result. If an activity is delayed, the
entire work stops. If all the facilities and equipment are reliable
working well, work delay can be reduced.

6. Environmental concern
The growing quantity of electronic wastes (monitors, laptops,
cellular phones, other electronic gadgets and its substances), the
increasing use of chemicals such as cleaning agents, paints, fuel
and its derivatives, the by-products created from its use, and its
disposal, pose danger to the environment and all living things.
Mass awareness on waste management brings the relevance of
conserving the natural resources and the products (machines, tools)
thru proper maintenance to lengthen its useful life.

Why Maintain?

General Objective:
• To keep the optimum condition of physical facilities at acceptable
levels and minimum cost to satisfy the expected of programs,
services and activities at acceptable and minimum costs

Specific Objectives:
• To extend the useful life of physical
facilities
• To assure the operational readiness of
installed equipment and maximum
possible return on investments
• To properly discard hazardous wastes
• To ensure the safety of personnel using
the facilities, physical properties and the
environment

What can we gain from maintaining our

facilities?
• Ensured SAFE environment
• Improved MORALE of human resources
• Reduced operational COST
• Increased PRODUCTION
• Prolonged LIFE of facilities
• Prompt DELIVERY of services/product
• WASTE/Garbage reduction

Who are involved?
• Who will manage the activities?
• Who will monitor and evaluate the operations?
• Who will prepare the maintenance schedule?
• Who will implement the program?
• Who will keep the records?
• Who will conduct inspection?
• Who will certify and accept the work?
• Who will prepare the report?

What, Where, When?

• What routine actions must be done to keep the device on working
order?
• Where is the maintenance activity to be carried out?
• When do you perform the maintenance activities?

How to maintain?
The question on how do we
implement the maintenance program
will center on the 5Ms are as follows:
• Manpower
• Money (Financial Resources)
• Methods and System
• Machines (Facilities)
• Materials and Supplies

A maintenance program is a
comprehensive list of maintenance and its incidents. This would include all
maintenance activities to be undertaken, manpower needed, maintenance
methods to be used, all the materials and supplies needed and cost involved
in the maintenance.

A maintenance schedule is a list allocating specific maintenance of an

area, including equipment and tools to a specific period. The maintenance
schedule is just a part of the maintenance program. A maintenance
checklist is a list of maintenance tasks (preventive or predictive) typically
derived through some form of analysis, generated automatically as work
orders at a predetermined frequency.

 INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-3
Areas for Maintenance

Learning Objectives:

After reading this information Sheet, the trainee must be able to identify and
determine areas/ facility that would require maintenance.

Maintenance function is an important economic factory factor

in any establishment. Proper maintenance ensures the firms’
continuous operation and eliminates unnecessary interruption
normally caused by major break down in equipment and
facilities. Basically shown, it shown the frequency of actions to be
undertaken to the following areas:

A. Building ( Housekeeping )

Cleaning services are provided on a daily basis to all areas of

the campus, including weekends. To address the needs of
each office or building, a building attendant has been
assigned to each specific area and she/he will provide the
following basic service standards:
 All trash bins emptied daily
 Carpets vacuumed three times per week
 Carpet spotted daily
 Office furniture dusted ounce per week
 File cabinets wiped bi-monthly
 Cove base and floor edges cleaned ounce per week
 Window sills cleaned ounce per week
 High dusting bi-monthly
 Glass doors cleaned daily
 Graffiti removed ounce per week
 Classroom reset daily
 Restrooms and Bathrooms cleaned daily
 Stairwells cleaned three times per week.

These services standards represent the minimum services you can

expect to receive in your office and classroom areas. These services,
however, can be modified as necessary to meet your specific
requirements. Thus, any special request not addressed through the
provision of these specific service standards should be given directly
to your Building attendant. By optimizing the one-on- one relationship
and communications between you and your Building attendant, the
office can better deliver the quality services that meet or exceed your
expectations.

B. Plumbing System

Plumbing refers to a system of pipes and fixtures

installed in a building for the distribution of
potable water and the removal of waterborne
wastes. Plumbing usually distinguished from
water and sewage systems. In that a plumbing
system serves one building, while water and
sewage system serves a group of building or a city.

C. Lighting System

Lighting can be your highest business energy cost-

and your greatest opportunity for savings. Reducing
heat output from your lighting can also reduce your
air conditioning cost. Without proper lighting,
productivity, safety, security and overall aesthetics can
be compromised. Good lighting design contributes to
employee comport and health, which in turn can
result in greater productivity.

D. Electrical Wiring System

This needs to be looked at by a shop that has the tools, information

and experience to diagnose electrical issues. This can be a broken
wire, bad fuse or any number of electrical issues. Highly advise you
don't replace anything and get diagnosed by professional. If you really
feel like you want to tackle this, get a good repair manual, wiring
diagram and access to the technical service bulletin from Cadillac,
read up on all the circuits involved and come with a diagnostic
procedure to address this.

E. Refrigeration and Air- conditioning System

Air –conditioning is the removal of heat from indoor air

for thermal comport. In another sense, the term can
refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or
disinfection that modifies the condition of air
conditioner ( often referred to as AC or air con. ) is an
appliance, system, or machine designed to stabilize the
air temperature and humidity within an area ( used for cooling as well
as heating depending on the air properties at a area at a given time ),
typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation,
commonly for comport cooling in buildings and motor vehicles.

 F. Electric Power Generators

Electric power is a evice that converts mechanical to

electric energy. A generators forces electrons in the
winding to flow through the external electrical electrical
circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump ,
which creates of flow of water but does not create the
water inside. The source of mechanical energy maybe a
reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or
water wheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank,
compress air or any other source of mechanical energy.

G. Elevators

An elevators is a type of vertical transport equipment that efficiently

moves people or good between floors ( level, decks ) of a building vessels
or other structure. Elevators are generally powered electric motors that
either drive traction cables or counterweight system like a hoist, or pump
hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like a jack.

H. Office Machine and Equipment

Office equipment needed to run office /business, such as computer

hardware and PDAs, office machines as printers, copiers , and digital
transcribers and LCD projectors.

I. Information/Telephone System

Its consist of computers, fax machines, internet connections, mobiles

phones and telephone lines.

J. Vehicles

Adhering to a routine vehicle maintenance schedule is important to

keep a vehicle in top running condition. But what services should be
performed and how often.

Asking several car service facilities the question of what services

should be performed on a particular vehicles, will probably heed
several different answers. Vehicle service shops are in the business to
make money, the more services they recommend the more profits they
can make.

If the honesty of t he service shop is in question, where’s the best

place find out what services should be performed on the vehicle.
The best source of information about scheduled maintenance is from
the vehicle manufacturer. The owner’s portfolio that came with the

 vehicle when it was new should include a scheduled maintenance
booklet that maybe incorporate in with the owner’s manual or it may
be a separate booklet.

K. Ecology

One of best contribution in the

preservation of the environment is
the waste management activity that
will be in placed in the respective
organizations. The adherence to the
policies and
programs on garbage management
would definitely create a multiplying
effect of having a clean and safe environment.

Conducting Inventory

A. Steps in the Conduct of Inventory

The conduct of inventory is the proper

identification of the equipment, utility and
facility to be maintained. The conduct of
inventory entails the following activities.

1. Listing of all utilities, facilities and equipment that need

maintenance.
2. Classifying these utilities into groups such as electrical group,
plumbing, and sewerage groups, ventilating, and air –
conditioning groups. Etc.
3. Prioritizing the grouping for the conduct of the particular
equipment, utility and facility.
4. Survey and physical counting of the particular equipment,
utility and facility.
5. Gathering and listing of vital information needed in the
establishment of the preventive maintenance measures.

B. Results in the Conduct of Inventory.

Maintenance Methods and Systems

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be

able to identify the different methods, systems and techniques as applied in
the maintenance of facilities.

There are different methods, systems and techniques being applied in

the maintenance of training facilities and equipment such as the Reliability
Centered Maintenance (RCM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Preventive
Maintenance (PM), and Total Production Maintenance. The most popular are
the Quality Management System and the 5S of Housekeeping. Of late, the
installation of software or computer-based system is helpful.

Quality Management System

Quality management is a method for ensuring that all the activities

necessary to design, develop and implement a product or service are
effective with respect to the system and its performance Quality
management can be considered to have 3 main components - quality control,
quality assurance and quality improvement. Quality management focuses
not only on product/service quality but also the means to achieve it. Quality
management therefore uses quality assurance and control of processes as
well as products to achieve more consistent quality.

The following diagram ( Diagram no.2) is the Shewhart cycle (PDCA)

for quality improvements (Made popular by Dr. Deming) www. quality-

 1. Plan. In this stage an organization must be able to prepare a good
maintenance program which will define the standards for Best
Management Practices. The maintenance program must clearly
answer the question on WHY, WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and
HOW.

2. Do. Here, the organization through the clearly identified

maintenance program, must be able to practice the Methods and
System defined in order to meet the standards (measurable
performance levels of maintenance execution) established.

3. Check. To determine if the maintenance program is implemented

according to what is planned, an assessment must
be done. The result of the assessment will then be
recorded and recorded to the proper authorities for
the immediate action. Regular inspections are
conducted to assure that the maintenance
activities are done on the date and time it was
planned and that the performance levels adhered
to the defined standard.

4. Act. Inspection will allow the organization to determine if the

standards of maintenance are met. This will also allow the
identification of further improvement in the process and
procedures. Hence, the results of the inspection must be properly
documented and reported to the proper authorities for immediate
action or correction needed.

The 5S Housekeeping Systems

5S is the name of a workplace organization methodology that uses a list

of five Japanese words which are seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu and shitsuke.
Transliterated or translated into English, they all start with the letter "S". It
is synonymous with standardized clean up. The list describes how items are
stored and how the new order is maintained. The decision-making process
usually comes from a dialogue about standardization which builds a clear
understanding among employees of how work should be done. It also instills
ownership of the process in each employee. www.training-
management.info/5s.htm

Seiri (Sort)
• TIDINESS, ORGANIZATION
• Taking out and disposing of unnecessary items.
• Unneeded items are thrown away or disposed.
• Refers to the practice of sorting and through all the tools,
materials, etc., in the work area and keeping only essential items.

 Everything else stored or discarded. This leads to fewer hazards
and less clutter to interfere with productive work.

Note: Things that clutter the workplace that are not needed should be
taken out. They usually occupy space and restrict physical
movement.

Seiton (Systematize)
• ORDERLINESS: Tools, equipment, and materials must be
systematically arranged for the easiest and most efficient access.
• Arrangement/Organization of necessary items in good order
• Assign a place for everything. The most often used item should be
nearest and ergonomically situated, meaning – there should be
little effort required in accessing, using and returning the
equipment, tools and parts, even documents. There must be a
place for everything, and everything must be in place.

Seiso (Sweep)
• CLEANLINESS: Cleaning even if things are NOT
DIRTY. A regular cleaning schedule prevents
things from getting too dirty that it would be
difficult to making it clean and span.
• Indicates the need to keep the work place clean
as well as neat. Cleaning in Japanese
companies is a daily activity. At the end of each
shift, the work area is cleaned up and
everything restored to its place.

Seiketsu ((Standardize)
• STANDARDS: Maintaining the workplace in high standard
housekeeping.
• Allows for control and consistency. Basic housekeeping standard
apply everywhere in the facility. Everyone knows exactly what his
or her responsibilities are. Housekeeping duties are part of regular
work routines.
• Prepare Housekeeping Standard Checklist. Checklist should be
very detailed and stringent. Remember that thoroughness is a
requirement of EXCELLENCE.
• EVALUATE workstation according to the Housekeeping Standard
Checklist.
• IMPLEMENT a periodic clean-up schedule; and an award and
sanction scheme.

Tips in Preparing a Housekeeping Standard Checklist:

• Keep it simple – one page checklist
• Follow a logical sequence

 • Consider the 5WH
• Avoid making assumptions
• From each item in your checklist,
other items will naturally originate
from it.

Note: Some samples of housekeeping

and equipment standard checklist
were presented in previous topics.

Shitsuke (Self-discipline)
• SUSTAINING DISCIPLINE: Doing things spontaneously without
having to be told.
• “Teach by doing”
• It is good discipline to leave the workplace cleaner than when it is
found.
• Refers to maintaining standards and keeping the facility in safe
and efficient order day after day, year after year.

Safety, as defined may be the freedom from danger injury or damage,

as well as security, are integral parts of the housekeeping system.

Safety Precaution

These are general safety precaution concerning people and facilities

although these may vary depending on the trade which they are in.

Concerning People
• When working wear appropriate clothing.
• Make sure that the safety hat is worn properly.
• Do not wear gloves when operating equipment except when any
part thereof is hot.
• Never remove safety devices or safety cover from equipment.
• Be careful of high voltages. Never touch switches with wet hands.
• When repairing power lines turn off the main power supply first.
• Should an accident occur, it should be reported immediately to
proper authority no matter how trivia.

Concerning Facilities
• Facilities must be adequately illuminated, clear, neat and dry.
• Keep the area organized so there are no obstacles lying around the
floor.
• The equipment and the floor area round the equipment must be
free from dust and any chipping.
• Workbenches must be strong and sturdy, and their surfaces
treated with non-skid materials.

Security Policies and Procedures

The word security in the general usage is synonymous with “safety”

but as technical term “security” means that something not only is secure
but that it has been secured. Part of a good housekeeping program is the
stress on security in the work area and of the tools and equipment. Here are
some security policies and procedures that we may apply in the workplace:

Physical Property
Keep your premises physically secure. Always ensure you know who in
the building. Prevent visitors casually wandering into your premises. If
appropriate, fit an alarm, lock valuable asset (e.g. laptops, mobiles and the
servers) in a secure room. Try to keep items out of direct public view.

Education
Let everyone know what is expected of them. Make sure they know the
value of the information they handle and are aware of any procedures you
have developed to combat threats. Make sure people know what their
responsibilities are.

Access Control
If you run a multi-user computer
system, use the appropriate access
control software to keep unauthorized
persons away from information held on your
computer systems. Make sure everyone who
needs access has their own ID and
password and ensure they can only
access what they need in order to do their
job.

Clear Desks
Establish a practice of clearing desks at the end of each day. This need
not be a complex process simply ensure that staff have lockable drawers or
cupboards in which to place their work, and make sure these are locked and
the keys removed.

Destruction
If you have sensitive information which you wouldn’t want to fall into
the wrong hands, destroy any copies you don’t need. , if you have a lot of
paper copies, modern shredders provide an inexpensive and effective
solution. Some organizations use specialists destruction companies; this is
normally only necessary if you have a lot of highly sensitive material.

Total Productive Maintenance

The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system is the systematic

analysis, planning, control and application of work and materials in
economic amounts by competent personnel to ensure orderly and
continuous functioning of all productive resources.
Total productive maintenance main objective is to keep and improve
production facilities stable and efficient at the lowest life cycle cost with the
active participation of all members in the organization. Specifically, its
purposes are:
• To increase productivity through maximum utilization and
improvement of all available equipment
• To develop maintenance system to reduce life cycle cost of
machinery and equipment through the involvement of everybody in
the organization.
• To develop operator’s capability to be competent in maintenance
activities through education, training and motivation.
• To enhance capability for advanced and sophisticated technology
that would reinforce competitive power

Conditions for Maintenance Control

Basic Policy of Maintenance Control

• Efficient operation of equipment
• Enhancement of maintenance technology
• Develop equipment to achieve stable operation
• Assignment of job responsibilities for each work level
• Technical training to upgrade the quality of workers, etc.

Basic Elements for Actual Maintenance Control

• Organization
• Standard Maintenance and inspection procedure
• Work Order System
• Work scheduling procedure
• Material control
• Maintenance record system
• Maintenance performance measuring system
• Power to implement all of the above

TPM balances maintenance cost and efficiency so that all equipment and
facilities can operate at full capacity with the least possible cost. It aims to
improve an organization through the attitude and skill of all personnel from
the top management down to the operations level in various maintenance
undertakings.

Improved equipment effectiveness not only drives home the 5S of

maintenance but also eradicates the six big losses in equipment. TPM

produces system effectiveness or overall equipment effectiveness through
combination of availability, efficiency, and the proportion of quality products
processed. To maximize the effectiveness of this man machine system, the
six “big losses” listed that interfere with its effective operation must be
eliminated:
1. Equipment failure – downtime losses caused by unexpected
breakdowns
2. Set-up and adjustment – downtime losses from set-up times and
adjustment such as exchanging dies in press and injection
machine
3. Idling and minor stoppages – losses resulting from idling and minor
stoppages caused by the operation of sensors and blockages of
work on chutes
4. Reduced speed – losses caused by the discrepancy between the
design speed and actual speed of equipment
5. Defects in process – losses caused by defects and reworking of
defects
6. Reduced yield – losses that occur between start-up and steady
production

Tag-out System

Tagging-out is a system to warn or let you know whether something in

your workplace should either be operated with extra care or left alone. Tags
and labels help ensure the safety of trainees/trainers/staff and prevent
improper operation of equipment.

Tagging-out consists of placing labels or hanging tags on equipment or

a part of big equipment. This gives information on the status or abnormal
condition of the equipment or special instruction in its operation. The
note/s on the tag or label, color (red- for danger, yellow for caution), size,
make-up, and the policies and procedures for enforcement may vary from
one organization to another. The tag-out activity should be logged.

Purposes of Equipment Tag-out Bill

1. To provide a procedure to prevent the improper

operation of a component, piece of equipment a
system, or portion of a system that is isolated
or in an abnormal condition.
2. To provide a procedure in operating an
instrument that is unreliable or not in normal
operation condition.
3. To provide separate procedures for trainees/trainers/staff when
accomplishing certain planned maintenance (PMS) actions.

 INFORMATION SHEET 5.2-1
Occupational Health and Safety

Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must

be able to determine the importance of occupational health and safety in
your workplace or training area.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area

concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged
in work or employment. Knowing OHS is essential to minimize the hazards
and risks not only to students, trainers and other people within the training
institution but others who will be affected.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)

The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a

safe work environment. As a secondary effect, OHS may also protect co-
workers, family members, employers, customers, supplies, nearby
communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the
workplace environment (DOLE Occupational Health and Safety Standards
(OHSSAD) Manual).

“Occupational health” as stated in Wikipedia, aims at:

1. The promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical,
mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations;
2. The prevention among workers of
departures from health caused by their
working conditions;
3. The protection of workers in their
employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health;
4. The placing and maintenance of the worker
in an occupational environment adapted to
his physiological and psychological
capabilities; and
5. The adaptation of work to man and each man to his job.

Reasons for occupational safety and health standards are:

• Moral – An employee should not have to risk injury at work, nor
should others associated with the work environment.

• Economic – Many governments realize that poor occupational

safety and health performance results in cost to state (e.g. through
social security payments to the incapacitated, cost for medical
treatment, and the loss of “employability” of the worker).
Employing organizations also sustain costs in the event of an

 incident at work (such as legal fees, fines, compensatory damages,
investigation times, lost production, lost goodwill from the
workforce, from customers and from the wider community).

• Legal – Occupational safety and health requirements maybe

reinforced in civil law and/or criminal law, it is accepted that
without the “encouragement” of potential regulatory action or
litigation, many organizations would not act upon their implied
moral obligations.

Objective of the OHS Standard

The objective of OHS standard is to protect working man against the

dangers of injury, sickness or death through safe and healthful working
conditions, thereby assuring the conservation of valuable manpower
resources and the prevention of loss or damage to lives and properties.

OHS in Relation to Waste Management and Disposal of Dangerous

Chemicals

Infectious waste can be divided into three primary groups such as:
1. Liquid waste – blood, other bodily fluids or culture media which is
known or suspected to be contaminated with a disease agent.

2. Soft materials – dressings, bandages, beddings, toweling etc. that are

saturated to the point that they are capable of releasing blood, body
fluids or other potentially infectious materials when handled and
compressed.

3. Any object commonly referred to as sharp, that

has been contaminated with blood, body fluids
or other infectious agent which could penetrate
the skin or could do so if broken. Examples:
broken glass, pipettes (glass and hard plastic),
scalpel blades and lancets.

Liquid or special waste – Determination and disposal are coordinated

with the Department of Environment and Department of Health and in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Liquid or special wastes

Radioactive Waste – Determination and disposal are coordinated by

the authorized agency in accordance with local and national regulations.
Radioactive waste includes, but is not limited to:
• General laboratory refuse (e.g., glassware,
paper, etc.) that is contaminated with
radioactive materials.
• Liquid wastes which includes a radioactive
material component, and
• The remains of animals that contain
radioactive materials as a result of
administration of such material for
research.

Radioactive waste is required to be labeled in accordance with

procedures established by the radiation safety office and typically exhibits
the universal radiation precaution symbol for radiation.

Hazardous or Chemical Waste – Determination and disposal are

coordinated with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Hazardous or chemical
waste includes but is not limited to any stock chemical or chemical reagent
that may inhibit one or more of the following physical hazards.

Corrosivity – The material has a pH, whether acidic or basic, that will
corrode steel or injure human tissue. This includes materials with a pH
less than 5 or greater than 10, regardless of strength of the acid or base.

Ignitibility – The material presents a significant fire hazard at room

temperature.

Reactivity – The material reacts violently with

water, forms potentially explosive mixtures with
water, generates toxic gases, vapors or fumes when
mixed with waste, or is unstable and can undergo
a violent physical change.

Toxicity –The materials exhibit a significant

characteristic or toxicity to human health or the
environment.

GOOD OHS PRACTICES
Disaster Plan
There should be plan in place to deal with any emergency. The nature
of emergency can vary from fire and chemical spills, and all the obvious
hazards that these present, to power and water failures that can lead to
unsafe working conditions.

Training and Providing Relevant Information

Awareness of the problems and positive approach to prevention is the
key to good OH&S practice. Many accidents and injuries can be avoided by
providing staff with appropriate training. Up to date
information regarding safe work practices, equipment
safety and chemical information should be readily
available in the workplace. Much of this information is
available as poster and charts. The benefits of this can
be seen in staff morale, productivity and the quality of
work. Other benefits can be seen in terms of reduced in
insurance premium, compensations and rehabilitation claims.

Work and Storage areas

With the safety of material in mind, work and storage areas should be
designed, constructed, and equipped to ensure that there is minimum risk to
archive material or staff. Work and storage areas must be kept free of food
and drinks, harmful contaminants, pollutants or vermin and harmful
radiation.
Exits, passageway, stairs and equipment access
areas should be kept clear of obstruction; including
stored materials or materials and equipment in use.
Obstruction can be potential hazard.

Near Miss and Hazardous Incidents and Accident Investigation

Near misses and hazardous incidents are those in which no one gets
hurt and where no material or equipment is damage, but have the potential
to cause damage or harm. Step should be taken to eliminate causes as soon
as possible, and while rectifying initial problem ensures that is does not
create a danger to anyone else. Regular safety inspections of a workplace
can help to ensure that wherever possible accidents are prevented from
occurring. It is very useful to develop a safety checklist that is appropriate to
the workplace.
Supervisors should be trained to understand and recognize the
occupational health and safety risk and needs in the area they are
responsible for. This will enable them to fulfill their duty in regard to
accidents are work related accidents which results in serious injury.

Report of Notifiable Accidents, Incidents and Dangerous Occurrences
Records of reports and witness statements of notifiable accidents,
incidents and dangerous occurrences will need to be preserved in the event
of future claims or litigation. There are also valuable in identifying hazard
and improvements that may still be needed to prevent further accidents.

First Aid
First Aid Officers are responsible for taking positive action to prevent
further injury to staff, to render fist aid treatment in accordance with their
approved training, and to keep record of treatment
provided.
First Aid Officers are also responsible for ensuring
that the first aid box or kit in their workplace is kept
fully stock and accessible, and for ensuring that the
rest room or first aid room is kept in good condition.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the last line of defense for
protecting workers. The second line of defense should involve intervention
along the path, that is, adjustment of the work procedure itself and/or the
introduction of mechanical devices to minimize the exposure of workers to
occupational health or safety hazards: e.g., dust collectors, welding fume
extraction units, exhaust fans, welding screens, etc. The implementation of
safe work practices and safe job procedures should also include the proper
selection, care and use of PPE.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is widely
used in construction because the hazards cannot be
effectively controlled by using engineering or
administrative controls. An example of an engineering
control is designing the job/task/tool to eliminate the
risk such as using tools equipped with dust collectors
or using a guard on a saw. An example of an
administrative control is posting signs to restrict
access to an area.

Hazard and Risk Control

A control program consists of all steps necessary to protect workers

from exposure to a substance or system, and the procedures required to
monitor worker exposure and their health to hazards such as chemicals,
materials or substance, or other types such as noise and vibration. A written
workplace hazard control program should outline which methods are being
used to control the exposure and how these controls will be monitored for
effectiveness.
A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health
effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.
Basically, a hazard can cause harm or adverse effects (to individuals as

health effects or to organizations as property or equipment losses).
Sometimes a hazard is referred to as being the actual harm or the health
effect it caused rather than the hazard.
Workplace hazards can come from a wide range of sources, such as:

Workplace Hazard Example of Hazard Example of Harm Caused

Thing Knife Cut
Substance Benzene Leukemia
Material Asbestos Mesothelioma
Source of energy Electricity Shock, electrocution
Condition Wet floor Slips, falls
Process Welding Metal fume fever
Practice Hard rock mining Silicosis

Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or

experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply
to situations with property or equipment loss.

Factors that influence the degree of risk include:

• How much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition,
• How the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin
contact); and
• How severe are the effects under the conditions of exposure.
Among the critical factors in hazard and risk control is the use of PPE
and firefighting equipment. Section 2 of RA 9514, otherwise known as the
Revised Fire Code of the Philippines of 2008 states the policy of the State to
ensure public safety and promote economic development through the
prevention and suppression of all kinds of destructive fires. Henceforth, the
State shall enforce all laws, rules and regulations to ensure adherence to
standard fire prevention and safety measures... Section 4 embodies the
provisions of the Fire Code... shall apply to all persons and all private and
public buildings, facilities or structures erected or constructed...

Elimination or Reduction of Hazardous Materials and Substance

Normally, even hazardous materials such as
cleaning agents made of corrosive chemicals, are
continuously used. A company should be resourceful in
dealing with this issue. They may minimize the use, or
find alternative materials that are not harmful or less
harmful to men and its environment.

Personal Responsibilities for Safety

• Observe all precautions related to your work.
• Report unsafe conditions or any equipment or materials you think
might be unsafe.
• Warn others of hazards.
• Report any injury or ill health.
• Wear protective clothing.

• Always inspect equipment and associated attachments for damage
before using.

Ways to learn and understand SAFETY

• Accidental Experience – caused by accidents.
• Safety Education – method which makes us aware of
dangerous situations
• Avoid accidents or injury.

OHS Legislations and Policies

The acts listed below have introduced significant changes to the health
and safety and social welfare benefits of all workers. Thus relevant
provisions of these laws are included under BOOK 4 of the Labor Code.
• Republic Act No.8282 or the “Social Security System Act of 1997”
• Republic Act No.8291 “Government Service Insurance System
(GSIS) Act of 1997”
• Republic Act No.7875 (National Health Insurance Act 1995)

There are a number of policies regarding the occupational health and

safety of people in the workplace. The policies are promulgated by
Occupational Health and Safety Center (OHSC) under the office of the
Department of Labor and Employment. Among these policies are the:
• National Workplace Policy on STD/HIV/AIDS
• Implementing Rules and Regulations on STD/HIV/AIDS
• Safety in the Construction Industry
• Substance/Drug Abuse
• Policy for Tuberculosis Control in the Philippines
• Department Order 47-03: Guidelines on SARS Prevention and

Waste Management

Learning Objectives:

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:

1. Identify the importance of waste management;
2. Identify the related policies, laws, rules and regulations; and

In the maintenance of training facilities, concern on waste management

is vital. Improper or mega dosage use of cleaning chemicals, mounting
packing materials of delivered equipment/tools and empty or used
containers, limited storing, recycling and disposal area of wastes coming
from training workshops, i.e. welding stubs, electronic devices, are few of
the issues to be dealt with in this topic.

Waste Management

Waste management is the collection, transport,

processing, recycling or disposal of waste materials,
usually ones by human activity, in an effort to reduce
their effect on human health or local aesthetics or
amenity. A sub focus in recent decades has been to
reduce the effect of waste materials on the
environment and to recover resources from them.
Waste management practices differ for developed
and developing countries, for urban and rural area and
for residential and industrial produces. Management for non-hazardous
residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the
responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-
hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of
the generator.
Waste management can involve
solid, liquid or gaseous substances
with different methods and fields of
expertise for each.

Diagram 3 Ecological waste management

is the proper handling of the thing we throw away in a manner that does not
harm anyone or anything, be it human, animal or the environment. The
waste hierarchy refers to the “3 Rs” Reduce, Reuse and Recycle which
classify waste management strategies according to their desirability in terms
of waste minimization. The waste hierarchy (see diagram 3 ) remains the

cornerstone of most waste minimization strategies. The aim of waste
hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefit from products and to
generate the minimum amount of waste.

Recycling is processing used materials as waste into new products to

prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of
fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from
incineration, water pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste
disposal, and lower greenhouse gas as compared to virgin production.
Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third
component of the waste hierarchy.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal,

plastic, textiles and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or
other reuse of biodegradable wastes – such as food or garden waste– is not
typically considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to
a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and
reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing ( see diagram 4 ).

In the strictest sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh

supply of the same material, i.e., used office paper would be converted into
new office paper, or used foamed
polystyrene into new polystyrene.
However, this is often difficult or
too expensive (compared with
producing the same product from raw
materials or other sources), so
recycling of many products or
materials involve their reuse in
producing different materials (e.g.,
paperboard) instead.
Diagram 4

Another form of recycling is the

salvage of certain materials from
complex products, either due to their
intrinsic value (e.g., lead from car batteries), or due to their hazardous
nature (e.g., removal and reuse of mercury from various items).

integrate the concept of climate change in various phases of
policy formulation, development plans, poverty reduction
strategies and other development tools and techniques by all
agencies and instrumentalities of the government.

• Waste Management of Training Refuse

The waste management system is both an environmental and
social issue with the existing international policies and laws
including the growing concern for global warming, its strict
observance is necessary. Wastes caused by training and learning
activities should be determined and identified, minimized (3Rs)
and proper use and storage be undertaken in accordance with
OH&S. Some wastes produce in training and typical
segregation/disposal activities are:
- entrails, bones, head of fish (as main material) in food
processing and commercial cooking courses (which we
usually segregate as food for other animals, dried and
processed (recycled) as another product, or dumped/placed
for composting to produce organic fertilizer); packaging
materials of other supplies (plastic sachets or bottles of salt,
pepper, vinegar); water used in washing/cleaning and
processing
- used tires (can be recycled as rubber pots) busted lights, and
broken glass/mirrors from the vehicle as equipment in
Automotive Servicing and Driving courses; used oil, grease,
empty cans/bottles/receptacles of lubricants,/oil, liquid
battery (as cleansing agent for urinals), and used spark plugs,
as waste from supplies/materials.

 INFORMATION SHEET 5.3-1
Types of Maintenance

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be

able to identify the different types of maintenance and maintenance
program.

Maintenance is work that is done regularly to keep equipment,

building and grounds in good condition and working order. We need to learn
the different kinds of maintenance in order to identify the activities and
proper procedures in the management of facilities as well as the time, money
and materials involved.

Types of Maintenance

The principal objectives of maintenance

can be clearly defined as follows:

1. To extend the useful life of assets

(i.e. every part of the site, building
and contents).

2. To assure the optimum availability of installed equipment for

protection (or service) and obtain the maximum possible return of
investment.

3. To ensure operational readiness of all equipment required for

emergency use.

4. To ensure the safety of personnel using

facilities.

Generally, there two (2) types of maintenance

system:
a Planned
b. Unplanned

A. Planned Maintenance – Work activities are performed as scheduled/

expected. Work is based- on pre- conceived/ planned activities. Example:
Changing of oil of car engine, this is controlled by two factors a)
mileage, b) time or whichever comes first.

The best source of information about scheduled maintenance is from

the manufacturer. The owner’s portfolio that came with the product when it
was new should include a scheduled maintenance booklet that may be
incorporated in with the owner’s manual or it may be a separate booklet. If

the maintenance schedule booklet cannot be found,
most manufacturers will have that information on
their website. Simply do as search for the
manufacturer on the Internet. When the
manufacturer’s site is located, look for a tab for
owner information and the maintenance schedule
should be found there.

A.1 Preventive Maintenance – Maintenance performed to PREVENT or

FIND failures BEFORE they develop into a breakdown.

 Time-based Maintenance – based on calendar

days or running hours or usage. (Inspection,
cleaning, lubrication, programmed replacement
and repairs). Example: Change oil every month
or every 5,000 km.

 Conditioned-based Maintenance – visual monitoring and condition

monitoring technique (temperature, hydraulic fluid wear, surface
condition, crack, leaks, vibration, corrosion/erosion, electric
insulation, etc.).

A.2 Predictive Maintenance – Maintenance performed at a predetermined

periods when the maintenance activity is most cost effective and before
the equipment fails. The conditioning of equipment maybe done by the
trainees or out-sourced based on the schedule of the
vehicle maintenance. There are manufacturers or
dealers who also provide after sales service or simply
provide maintenance exclusive of products they
produced.

A.2.1 Corrective Maintenance – Maintenance tasks

initiated as a result of the observed or measured
condition of an asset or system, before or after
functional failure, to correct the problem. It is performed to
REPAIR, RESTORE, REPLACE or CORRECT a failure. This activity
may consists Corrective maintenance maybe planned or
unplanned.

A.2.2 Controlled Maintenance (or

Proactive Maintenance) – maintenance
performed to stabilize the reliability of
machines or equipment or to condition
improvement/enhancement of
equipment. Example: Engine overhaul.

 A.2.3 Breakdown Maintenance (or Reactive Maintenance) – it is
maintenance performed as a reaction to failure or fails while in
operation. Example: Repair of vehicle when the vehicle broke down
while on travel

B. Unplanned Maintenance – Maintenance performed unexpectedly

B.1 Emergency – maintenance performed to put the item on hand

IMMEDIATELY to avoid serious consequences,
i.e. loss of production, disrupted schedule,
extensive damage to assets, idle workers or for
safety reasons. Example: A hacksaw blade
breaks-up during operation, this is an unplanned
situation, what you need to do is buy new blade
and replace it.

Emergency maintenance repairs should be requested as soon as you

become aware of a problem. The maintenance staff will respond to
emergencies as soon as possible to make necessary repairs with or without
an appointment. There are instances where you have to notify the security
personnel, the fire department, or other concerned office if the emergency
will cause serious damage to property and for safety reasons. (See diagram

 INFORMATION SHEET 5.3-2
Maintenance Procedures and Practices

Learning Outcome: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be

able to identify the common maintenance procedures and practices of
training facilities as a reference in the development of your maintenance
program.

It is important to learn the different procedures and practices in the

maintenance of training equipment in order to draw from these and plan the
suitable maintenance program for our own organizations.

Maintenance of Tools and Equipment

The proper use of the training tools and

equipment is the first and foremost task in the
maintenance. They must be able to use them in
accordance to the manufacturer’s manuals, as this
would evidently extend the life of the equipment and
tools. The Manual would indicate the part of the
equipment, the functions of each part and the way to
maintain it. We must always refer to it for reference.
The user’s manuals must be kept handy and within
the Trainer or designated area for immediate
reference.

Maintenance Procedures and Practices

Maintenance procedures and practices differ from one school or to

another. Simple procedures may work in a small organization or in a
medium-sized school with organized structure. The more complex an
organization, the more complex the system is. Hence, the adoption of
computerized system in maintenance is prescribed.
Inventory is initially prepared to check the items that are present,
available for use, operational, and adequate for the
training activities. As to the presence of the items,
the trainer ought to check if the items such as
chemicals, has not yet expired or its utilization is
before its expiration dates. For equipment, it is
advisable to check if all the parts are still functional,
i.e. elasticity of rubber, strength of coil, etc. It is best
to inspect during the inventory, the status of
training materials to be indicated in the inventory as basis for requisition.
The stored training materials and its location/position in the storeroom/tool
room, i.e. tools, equipment, extension wires, PPEs, should also be inspected.
There may be cases where stored oiled seeped in welding gloves which may

cause accidents during its use, electric wires has cuts or open wires after
storage for long periods, chisel or blades have chipped ends due to
mishandling.
In the requesting of required training materials, it is essential to
indicate the complete specifications of the items in order to secure the
needed items and ensure delivery of quality items. This is important to
prevent accidents, damage or injury caused by the usage or presence of low-
quality materials in the workshop area.
The training facilities should also be inspected. For example, in
Plumbing - check the steady supply of water, if there are leaks in pipes, if
faucets are in order; in Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, in case of
additional equipment, check if the power supply can still accommodate,
adequate outlets are available. If the items are not yet ready but it is
necessary to run the training program, tagging-out shall be useful. Tagging-
out, when properly conducted and reported, will serve as basis for
appropriate action, i.e. repair, purchase of required parts. In this case, a
work order/request or job order form (sample is shown in Template #10)
comes in to be submitted by the trainer or in-charge of the facility. In big
organization, tagging-out is a major activity and audits are conducted
periodically. Others have index or ledger cards to reflect the equipment or
facility tagged-out.

is prepared and submitted followed by a work request or job order. In some
cases, the breakdown report is with pre and post-inspection report in the
same form or sheet. Or, inspection and acceptance report form are further
filled-in aside from the incidental report. This will depend on the
maintenance system or established practices in an organization. A salvage
report is further submitted after the repair or conditioning of the

Importance of Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the regular inspection and repair of
equipment and facilities to prevent extensive, costly damage from occurring
over time. Preventive maintenance can go a long way toward reducing the
overall cost of your training facilities and equipment, as large expenditures
for repairs and replacements can often be avoided by a careful attention to
detail. Following a thorough preventive maintenance checklist can help you
to delay the deterioration of the structure or equipment and lessen your
maintenance costs in the long run.
Generally, preventive maintenance is practiced to avert further damage
to properties and to people and subsequent financial loss. Though costly at
first, preventive maintenance is better.

Inspections
Perform regular inspections on all equipment and
facilities that are subject to damage or normal wear and
tear. Inspect such things as roofs, pools, insulation,
ventilation systems and appliances to ensure that they are
operating safely and efficiently. Make inspection a priority
among your trainees especially if it the
course/qualification is related, i.e. RAC students to check
on insulation, ventilation; create thorough checklists that
must be marked off and signed by the inspecting group or authorized
person, and hold inspectors accountable for the thoroughness of their
examinations.

Cleaning
Stick to a regular cleaning schedule for fixtures such
as air ducts, pools and exterior siding to ensure that dirt,
mildew and other buildup does not cause any damage.
Clean and replace filters in heating and air conditioning
units, as well as appliances such as washing machines
and dryers (CES class can be assigned to this), to prevent
fire damage. New or cleaned filters also help to keep
electricity costs down, as the appliances can operate more
efficiently with an unrestricted flow of air.

Pest Control

Bring pest control specialists into your facility at least once per year,
even if your students have not complained about pests.
Common pests such as cockroaches and termites can
increase their populations rapidly and can quickly infest
an entire property, causing extensive damage to interiors
and electrical infrastructure. Act proactively to ensure that
pests do not gain a foothold, and respond quickly to any
pest complaints.

Testing

Test emergency equipment such as sprinkler systems, smoke alarms

and fire extinguishers to ensure that they remain in working order. Properly
maintained safety equipment can prevent a small mishap from becoming a
major disaster. Consider hiring a third-party service provider to audit your
safety systems to ensure that they go above and beyond minimum state
requirements; it can be well worth the extra investment in the case of a fire
or other damaging event. This can be included in the Maintenance Manual.

Sealants

Initiate the reapplication of all sealants at least once

every 5 years. Sealants such as deck waterproofing, exterior
paint and window caulking can corrode over time, exposing
your facility to the risk of internal damage. Reapplying these
substances every few years not only helps to keep your
structure strong, it can also cut down on energy and repair
bills in the future.

Budget

Encourage the allotment or setting aside

an ample budget for preventive maintenance
procedures at the beginning of each year. If you try to
save money by scrimping on preventive maintenance
expenditures, you may save a small amount in the
short run, but you stand to lose a much larger amount
when a full-scale repair or replacement is needed. Set
aside enough money to spend wisely on preventive
maintenance without cutting into your operating
budget.

 INFORMATION SHEET 5.4-1
Document Maintenance Inspection

Learning objectives: After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able
to:
1. Identify the relevance of documentation and reporting; and
2. Determine the proper forms to use in maintenance activities.

There is a need to put into writing the different activities pertaining to

the maintenance of the facilities and equipment and other learning materials
in the training institution explaining how your system works, how to use
such facilities and equipment, how to maintain and how to dispose them if
their useful life has ended.
Complete, accurate, and current documentation is essential to an
effective maintenance program. Whether performing preventive, predictive,
condition-based, or reliability-centered maintenance,
keeping track of equipment condition and
maintenance—performed and planned—is critical.

Importance of Documentation
Documentation is a must in the modern world.
Essentially, quality documentation is the type of
documentation where a physical process or activity is conveyed through the
medium of writing by having it noted down in a document of some kind.
This is a necessity due to several reasons. Most importantly, it allows errors
to be isolated and successes to be replicated. Documentation also helps you
to guard against the risk of potential litigation.
One of the most important parts of running any successful or
organization is to make sure that you always have clear precise
documentation of every single important transaction, process, and action
that takes place. This will allow you to have a clear reference point whenever
anything is in question. Additionally, the chances of processes and actions
deviating from their expected results are very low when there is a
comprehensive and systematic database of documentation concerning the
appropriate requirements and procedures that need to be implemented.

Reason for Documentation

The reason for the reporting and documentation process is to collect
data that can be used to optimized efficiency and enable cost- effective
decisions and actions. It gives those carrying out the works the information
they need. Documents are also used to prepare cost estimates and to obtain
tenders from prospective contractors.
Complete, accurate, and current documentation is essential to an
effective maintenance program. Whether performing preventive, predictive,
condition-based, or reliability-centered maintenance, keeping track of
equipment condition and maintenance—performed and planned—is critical.

 Documentation should be prepared by qualified personnel. The key to
good documentation is to correctly identify the problem to be solved, and
hence to specify an appropriate solution. The nature and extent of the work
must then be clearly conveyed to those who will do it. This information sheet
discusses firstly what to document, and secondly how.
Other documents that are important relative to maintenance are
drawings and specification.
Drawings are usually the most efficient way to convey what something
looks like, how big it is and how it fits together. It is important for the
trainer to be provided with the drawing of the machines under their custody
to be able to identify probable defects or missing part. Drawings could
provide the relevant information to the technician if
repairs are done in-house. Trainers should maintain a
ledger card for this purpose. ( see sample template

A specification is a written description of the materials and

techniques to be used in the work. Most project specifications incorporate
references to standard specifications.

Maintenance Forms
Typical forms used in maintenance either in preventive or emergency
repairs are Breakdown/Repair Report. Others have Incident/Observation
Report Form. In requesting work, Job Order or Work Request Form is used.
At times, pre-inspection is done before repair. Another
inspection is done after the conditioning or repair of
equipment. This activity is documented in an Inspection Report
Form. At times, only one sheet or form is used for the
following: Repair/Breakdown Report, Work Request,

 A historical record is a basic component of any
maintenance system. All maintenance and repair activity
of an equipment item should be reported for inclusion in
an historical record. A single record that contains the
complete maintenance history of the item, including
preventive maintenance, breakdown, repair, and rebuild
data should be maintained.
The minimal information required to establish a
record in a system should consist of the following four items:

 GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Housekeeping would cover those janitorial and grounds keeping activities necessary to
provide clean and orderly facilities and grounds.

Inspection would involved periodic inspection of equipment to insure safe and proper
operation, assuring that periodic maintenance is performed, control of the quality of the
work accomplished by maintenance craftsmen ,inspection of materials and parts received
from vendors, and examination of items removed during repair or overhaul operations to
determine the feasibility of repair.

Maintenance would consist of the lubricating, adjusting, and routine replacement usually
classified as preventive maintenance. It would also include work necessary to restore
equipment to operation on a quick-fix basis in the event of a breakdown.

Organizing in a maintenance department is the grouping of activities necessary to achieve

the mission of the department and the assignment of each group to supervisor.

Overhaul would involve the reconditioning of equipment: teardown, replacement,

reassembly, and testing.

Periodic maintenance is preferred over preventive maintenance because a comprehensive

program encompasses maintenance operations that go beyond the prevention of equipment
breakdown. Properly planned, a periodic maintenance program can effectively identified
who, what, when, where, why, and how specific repetitive operations are to be performed . .
. expand a system to schedule repetitive inspection and maintenance of building
equipment, utility distribution systems, janitorial services, grounds keeping and gardening
activities, and the painting of buildings.

A specific work order is prepared to accomplish each of these types of periodic

maintenance system. Where several kinds of maintenance are required for a given item, a
separate schedule is established for each operation. For example, a machine tool may have
separate schedules for lubrication, electrical checks, mechanical checks, and tolerance
checks. For each of these activities, a separate work order is generated at the prescribed
time and distributed to the appropriate craft skill.

Planning involves the selection of objectives and the determination of the policies,
programs, and procedures to be used for the achievement of the selected objectives.

Repair would consist of replacing parts to restore a piece of equipment to full operating
condition, and to alleviate undesirable conditions found during periodic maintenance or
breakdown.

Responsibilities that are normally assigned to the maintenance department are the health
and safety of the public and employees, minimization of downtime hours on production or
building equipment, housekeeping and keeping the general appearance of the facilities
presentable. The ultimate goal should be to optimize the use of every maintenance dollar
spent in achieving the assigned mission.

Salvage would involve the reclamation and disposition of surplus material and scrap.

Scheduling is a method of planning that cites specific objectives to be accomplished in

relation to time. Inherent maintenance program is the use of schedules to delineate when
specific types of maintenance are to be performed….The major thrust of work scheduling is
to improve the efficiency of the maintenance department.
