How Preventive Maintenance and Custom Forms Reduce Safety Risks

Introduction

Safety is a top priority across all industries, especially those that rely on heavy equipment or machinery to maintain daily operations. Whether in healthcare, construction, or manufacturing, ensuring safety through proper maintenance is essential to preventing dangerous breakdowns and accidents.

With AssetComet, businesses can implement a robust preventive maintenance strategy while also taking advantage of our custom forms feature, designed specifically to help track and manage safety data. In this blog, we’ll explore how preventive maintenance and the use of custom forms can enhance overall safety and reduce risks.

The Importance of Safety

Poorly maintained equipment can result in mechanical failures, accidents, and significant safety hazards, which can affect workers and disrupt operations. Implementing preventive maintenance alongside safety tracking through AssetComet’s custom forms can help mitigate these risks by ensuring all critical data is tracked and available in real-time.

Common Safety Risks from Poorly Maintained Equipment:

  • Mechanical Failures: Worn or faulty parts can cause sudden breakdowns, leading to workplace accidents.
  • Electrical Hazards: Improperly maintained electrical systems increase the risk of fire or electrocution.
  • Injury to Operators: Equipment failures can put operators in harm's way, causing injury or even death.

Preventive maintenance and safety tracking with custom forms ensure that all relevant safety data is gathered, helping companies stay compliant and reduce risks.

How Preventive Maintenance and Custom Forms with AssetComet Improve Safety

AssetComet allows businesses to take a proactive approach to safety by combining preventive maintenance schedules with the ability to create and track custom safety forms. This combination provides businesses with the tools to not only maintain their equipment but also capture essential safety information during inspections.

1. Custom Forms for Safety Inspections

Safety inspections are essential for ensuring equipment reliability and compliance. With AssetComet, businesses can create custom safety forms tailored to their industry and equipment needs. This ensures that all necessary safety checks are completed during each inspection, minimizing the risk of accidents.

Scenario Example: A manufacturing company can design custom forms for inspecting its assembly line machinery, ensuring that operators check key safety components—such as emergency stop buttons and guards—during each maintenance cycle. By documenting these checks, the company can prevent potential safety hazards and improve compliance.

In industries with strict safety regulations, such as transportation and manufacturing, maintaining compliance is essential. AssetComet’s custom forms help businesses ensure that all regulatory safety checks are completed and recorded during inspections. These records can be used during audits to prove compliance with industry standards.

Scenario Example: A public transportation authority can create custom forms for vehicle inspections, ensuring that all safety-critical systems, such as brakes and lighting, are regularly checked and compliant with industry regulations. This ensures the safety of passengers and reduces the risk of regulatory fines.

How Insurers Assess Your Assets: The Role of Maintenance History
When it comes to insuring high-value assets like machinery, vehicles, and equipment, insurance companies don’t just look at the asset's current condition—they also evaluate its maintenance history to assess risk. A well-maintained asset is less likely to break down, suffer damage, or cause accidents, which can lead to lower insurance premiums and better coverage options. On the other hand, assets with poor or inconsistent maintenance records may be considered higher risk and could lead to higher premiums or limited coverage.
