This information provides the business inputs which address failure modes of mobile equipment which relate to a poor quality of maintenance occurring. The listing of failure modes is shown in detail in the Important Documents section on the right – but in essence, they relate to:
- Poor engagement of third party repairers
- Not reconnecting flammable liquid lines to meet site/OEM requirements
- Leaving flammable materials in/on the machine after maintenance (rag waste etc.)
- Failing to reconnect cooling devices
- Hot work on machinery (and subsequent heating/fires)
- Poor maintenance of fire suppression systems
- Failing to adequately check and authorise quality of repairs
The business inputs which address these types of failure modes are presented in the listing of business inputs shown below the failure modes.
