Preventative Maintenance Checklist

Last month we discussed the importance of preventative maintenance (PM) plans. Here’s a checklist to help you get your own facilities PM plan started.

If you’ve never really thought about preventative maintenance, or even if it’s on your mind 24/7 – we’ve put together a checklist to help you easily run down through a list of all of the nooks and crannies of your facility. Even for those more experienced in PM, you never know – you have been missing something at some point. Take a few minutes and wander around your office space with this list. A regularly schedule inspection, coupled with simple repairs can help reduce the impact and frequency of equipment failures, structural problems, and other costly maintenance issues at a facility.
